L’aire fresc de tardor omplia el Penedès amb una brisa suau.
The fresh autumn air filled el Penedès with a gentle breeze.
Els ceps es pintaven de colors daurats sota el sol de tarda.
The vines were painted with golden colors under the afternoon sun.
El raïm estava madur, llest per a la collita, i la vinya d'Oriol s'estenia com un mar de fulles ondulants.
The grapes were ripe, ready for harvest, and Oriol's vineyard stretched like a sea of undulating leaves.
Oriol caminava pel camp, pensatiu.
Oriol walked through the field, thoughtful.
El Festival de Sant Sadurní s'acostava, un moment de celebració per a la família, però aquest any hi havia tensió.
The Sant Sadurní Festival was approaching, a time of celebration for the family, but this year there was tension.
Oriol volia portar tecnologia nova a la vinya.
Oriol wanted to bring new technology to the vineyard.
Creia que una modernització podia augmentar la producció i assegurar el futur de la seva família.
He believed that modernization could increase production and secure his family's future.
Però la seva germana Laia no hi estava d'acord.
But his sister Laia disagreed.
Ella adorava els mètodes tradicionals que els seus avis havien utilitzat.
She loved the traditional methods their grandparents had used.
"Són aquests mètodes que fan el nostre vi especial, Oriol," deia Laia mentre plegava les vinyes.
"It's these methods that make our wine special, Oriol," said Laia while tending the vines.
"No ho podem perdre.
"We can't lose that."
"Llavors hi havia en Genís, el seu cosí gran.
Then there was Genís, their older cousin.
Recentment, havia parlat de vendre la seva part de la vinya.
Recently, he had talked about selling his part of the vineyard.
Necessitava diners per a la seva nova empresa.
He needed money for his new business.
Oriol sabia que perdre la part de Genís significava perdre una part de la història familiar.
Oriol knew that losing Genís's part meant losing a piece of the family history.
El festival va arribar amb música i somriures.
The festival arrived with music and smiles.
Les olles de vi bullien i els nens corrien pels carrers.
Pots of wine simmered, and children ran through the streets.
Era un dia de joia, i Oriol havia esperat aquest moment.
It was a day of joy, and Oriol had been waiting for this moment.
Amb el poble reunit, va decidir parlar.
With the village gathered, he decided to speak.
"Família, amics," començà, amb la veu ferma però emotiva.
"Family, friends," he began, with a firm yet emotional voice.
"Aquesta vinya ha donat vida a la nostra família durant generacions.
"This vineyard has given life to our family for generations.
Però hem d'assegurar el seu futur.
But we must ensure its future.
Us demano que considerem modernitzar una petita part.
I ask you to consider modernizing a small part.
No només per créixer, sinó per honorar també el treball dels nostres avantpassats, adaptant-nos.
Not just to grow, but also to honor the work of our ancestors by adapting."
"Laia es va quedar en silenci un moment, mirant els rostres dels familiars i amics.
Laia remained silent for a moment, looking at the faces of family and friends.
"Podem provar-ho," va dir finalment, "però amb cura.
"We can try," she finally said, "but with care."
"Genís va intervenir amb un somriure mig preocupat.
Genís interjected with a half-worried smile.
"Si es fa bé, potser fins i tot em quedaré.
"If done right, I might even stay.
La vinya és part de tots nosaltres.
The vineyard is part of all of us."
"Amb aquestes paraules, la discussió es va apaivagar.
With these words, the discussion calmed down.
La família va acordar modernitzar una petita secció com a prova.
The family agreed to modernize a small section as a trial.
Van brindar amb el vi de la família, celebrant l'esperança de la tradició i el progrés.
They toasted with the family wine, celebrating the hope of tradition and progress.
Per a Oriol, aquell vi era diferent.
For Oriol, that wine was different.
Va comprendre que innovar no significava oblidar.
He understood that innovating didn't mean forgetting.
En els ulls de la seva família, va veure la importància de la paciència i de valorar l'esforç, com les fulles d'or que cobrien la seva estimada vinya sota el cel de tardor.
In his family's eyes, he saw the importance of patience and valuing effort, like the golden leaves covering his beloved vineyard under the autumn sky.
La festa va continuar i els somriures van omplir l'aire, esvaint la tensió sota els estels.
The celebration continued, and smiles filled the air, easing the tension beneath the stars.
