Logline
When Clara returns home from London to save her family’s historic vineyard in the Cotswolds, she’s forced to rely on a free-spirited Italian winemaker. But as they race against the elements to bottle an impossible vintage, she discovers that wine – and love – take soul to harvest.

Synopsis

When her family’s historic Cotswolds vineyard faces a sudden foreclosure threat, Clara returns home from her corporate job in London to save the estate. Her analytical approach instantly collides with Luca, a charming, free-spirited Italian winemaker who guides the vineyard by tradition, intuition, and heart. Forced to work side-by-side to launch an impossible boutique vintage, their methods—and their personalities – clash at every turn.

As the autumn harvest throws unpredictable challenges their way, Clara and Luca are forced to rely on each other to survive the season. Working long hours together in the honey-stone barns, the ice begins to melt. Luca helps Clara reconnect with her family’s heritage and her mother’s legacy, while Clara shows Luca that her structure comes from a deep desire to protect the people she loves. Beneath the bickering, a profound, slow-burn connection begins to take root.

With an ambitious local mayor and a cold buyout looming over the estate, Clara and Luca must unite their strengths to stage a high-stakes local tasting event. When the pressure peaks, Clara makes the ultimate choice to reject the corporate world and fight for her true home. In a sun-drenched sunset over the ridge, they discover that the perfect partnership – and true love – cannot be calculated on a spreadsheet. It has to be grown from the heart.
