The vintage years / John Sargeant.

"With her wretched and tragic past now years behind her, Gina Stewart has fulfilled her dream to become an established vintner on the family owned vineyard, the Cardiff Road Winery at Martinborough. It's now she meets and falls in love with Neil Havelock, a former navy diver, now discharged and looking for his place in life. It's a different story for her English cousin, Hayley Dalgleish whose father dies leaving the entire estate, including a very lucrative chain of book shops to Hayley's brother, Mason. This only serves to reignite their long held and bitter sibling rivalry. To get away from the pressure, Hayley travels to New Zealand, where Gina, unable to have children, asks Hayley to be her and Neil's surrogate and Hayley eventually agrees. When Annette, the eldest of the three sisters arrives to stay at the winery, she not only turns Gina and Deb's world upside down with erotic and openly sexual behaviours but takes the winery to the edge of ruin with her actions. Annette's conscience finally emerges from the moral chasm and in a desperate act of remorse, and to protect Gina from her own past coming back to haunt her, Annette makes a final and desperate decision which exiles her from the family she has learned to love in order to protect them from the consequences of her own mistakes."--
