I think people have to understand who Frank Yukich was – he was one of New Zealand’s pioneers. He was a workaholic. He was energetic, he was arrogant, he was everything that made a good entrepreneur. The moment he saw the potential down here, he was planning, and I’ve still got the original plans of the winery. It was going to be out at Makaraka by the racecourse. Council wouldn’t hear of it and drove us in here into the industrial area and we were in production by 1971. That was our first season. Corbans quickly followed Montana into Gisborne,
