Plot
Half-cousins, Australian socialite Daisy Munroe and UK lawyer Louis Oakley inherit a declining New Zealand vineyard called Oakley Wines located in the fictional 'Peak View' wine district located in the real wine district of Central Otaga, New Zealand. The joint-heirs have no experience of winemaking nor experience of New Zealand rural culture, and each are having financial, social and existential crises. They become interested in the wineries future, but frequently don't see eye-to-eye. Furthermore, a neighbouring vineyard wants to buy Oakley Wines and aren't happy that the inexperienced newcomers might stay.
