Kiwi director Niki Caro (Whale Rider) adapts Elizabeth Knox's novel about a peasant winemaker in 19th century France, starring the great Vera Farmiga (The Departed) and Keisha Castle-Hughes as a foxy salt-of-the-earth peasant girl.

Sobran Jodeau (Jeremie Renier) is an ambitious young peasant winemaker with three loves; his beautiful and passionate wife Celeste (Keisha Castle-Hughes), the proudly intellectual baroness Aurora de Valday (Vera Farmiga) and Xas (Gaspard Ulliel), a fallen angel who strikes up an unlikely but enduring friendship. Under his guidance, Sobran is forced to fathom the nature of love and belief and in the process grapples with the sensual, the sacred and the profane in pursuit of the perfect vintage.
