From the bullrings of Spain to the vineyards of Argentina, one man's exile becomes the foundation of a family empire.
Rafael Fenoy was born to privilege in France, but betrayal forced him from his family and into the chaos of the Spanish Civil War. As a matador turned resistance fighter, he faced danger, loss, and sacrifice-until destiny carried him across the ocean to Mendoza, Argentina.
There, against the backdrop of the Andes and endless rows of vineyards, Rafael dares to begin again. With only his skills, his courage, and his dream, he sets out to build a winery from scratch. What begins as survival slowly becomes legacy, as he finds not only land and labor, but love-the woman who will stand beside him as he turns hardship into triumph.
Spanning decades of struggle, passion, and perseverance, Mendoza: Roots is a sweeping historical family saga of exile, resilience, and romance. Fans of multigenerational stories, vineyard novels, and historical romance will be captivated by Rafael's journey-from bullfighter to vintner, from immigrant to patriarch of a winery empire.
Perfect for readers who love stories of love against the odds, family legacies, and epic historical settings.
