He works as a mine worker to feed his children and encounters a lot of hardships. Mauro Laurea (Rafael Novoa) is a Spaniard who migrates to Mexico with his two small children after his wife’s untimely death. To escape the prying eyes and protect the family business, she flees to Jerez in Spain, her childhood home to La Templanza. To make matters worse, her husband’s son, from his first wife, smells the opportunity and plots to take over the entire business and his father’s wealth. This is not met with an approving nod by his business partners and his accountants.

He fails to recognize people and Soledad is forced to step into the man’s world and take charge of the business. Her husband’s condition becomes a dangerous predicament when he starts losing sense of time and safety. She leads a good content domestic life in England with her three daughters until her husband is diagnosed with dementia. Her husband is a very successful businessman in England and builds a huge empire. Soledad (Leonor Watling), an heiress in the family of winemakers marries a widower, who is a wine importer to keep up the family business. It is a historical romance set in the 1860s, between two strong individuals who live in two different parts of the world. This short 10-episode series is based on a book La Templanza by Maria Duenas. I am glad I watched The Vineyard, a Spanish show with English voice over on Amazon Prime.


It’s been a while since I have taken a strong liking towards a television series. Once in a blue moon comes a book, a movie or a series which walks away with your heart and it takes some time to settle down to normalcy.
