Summary The journey of a family from poor Hunter Valley wine labourers to the owners of Australia's third largest wine company is one of the great success stories of business. But it is a story also of personal tragedy.Brian and Fay McGuigan devoted their lives to building Wyndham Estate into one of the world's most recognisable wine businesses. Then, in 1990, their world was shattered when their 21-year-old daughter Vanessa, died of cancer, and in a hostile takeover, they lost their company.Battered but not beaten, the McGuigans fought back and once again, hard work came to the rescue. Together they built a new multi-million dollar wine empire branded with the family name.But today, the McGuigans must face a new truth - that work can no longer be their salvation.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Written and directed by Geraldine McKenna; Executive Producer: Tim Clark;Series Producer: Laurie Critchley; ABC TV Head of Factual Entertainment: Denise Eriksen
