Premise
Heralded by Don Vicente Cortázar (Emilio Gutiérrez Caba), the patriarch, the Cortázar family embodies an aggressive and ruthless approach towards the winemaking business.{{Cite web|url=https://www.lavozdegalicia.es/noticia/gente/2010/04/13/tve-atreve-thriller-vinedos-sustituir-aguila-roja/00031271168073245810670.htm|website=La Voz de Galicia|title=TVE se atreve con un thriller entre viñedos para sustituir a «Águila Roja|date=13 April 2010}} Don Vicente is the father of Miguel (Tristán Ulloa), Raúl (Aitor Luna), Pablo (Francesc Garrido) and Emma (Ana Risueño), and represents the archetype of "evil character", while Raúl Cortázar and Gustavo Arístides also display "Machiavellian" masculine behaviours.{{Sfn|Guarinos|2013|p=101}}
Conversely, the Reverte family, prone to the romanticisation of the business, is led by Doña Sofía Reverte (Ángela Molina), the mother of Daniel (Ricard Sales) and Lucía (Paula Echevarría), a journalist based on New York who returns to the cellars to help in the family business upon the sudden death of her father.{{Cite web|url=https://www.lainformacion.com/arte-cultura-y-espectaculos/tve-se-atreve-con-un-thriller-entre-vinedos-para-sustituir-a-aguila-roja_kX03frMATkEze3dBJPDYK2/|website=La Información|title=TVE se atreve con un thriller entre viñedos para sustituir a "Águila Roja"|date=13 April 2010}}
The attempted assassination of the first born son of the Cortázar, Miguel, is the trigger of the ensuing intrigues and feuds taking place in the series.{{Cite web|date=20 September 2009|url=https://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2009/09/19/television/1253387902.html|website=El Mundo|title=La 1 'descorcha' su 'Gran reserva', la gran apuesta de ficción para 2010}} Married to Paula (Belén Fabra),{{Cite web|url=https://www.formulatv.com/noticias/12715/la-serie-de-tve-gran-reserva-comienza-su-rodaje/|website=FormulaTV|title=La serie de TVE 'Gran reserva' comienza su rodaje|date=17 September 2009}} Miguel survives the attempt on his life, but loses his memory,{{Cite web|url=https://www.rioja2.com/n-49344-705-serie_bodegueros_riojanos_Gran_Reserva_vera_enero/|website=Rioja2|title=La serie de bodegueros riojanos 'Gran Reserva' verá la luz en enero|date=18 September 2009}} experiencing a dramatic change in his personality.
