"We're hugely supportive of each other, mostly I try to give her reasons to laugh.

"I think we were both looking for a new challenge and thought we'd make a great team, and here we are.

"There's a deep level of trust and understanding that goes on [building a brand with family].

"With that comes a level of stability which is great.

"On the flip side, we're still brother and sister and are more than capable of pushing each other's buttons. 

"Working with a family member is great - although you have to fight for the space to keep your relationships outside of business which is the challenge."

The website explains their story, which states: "The Watson family have a deep-rooted connection with burgundy wines and the beautiful countryside that surrounds them.

"Chris Watson planted his vines in Chablis more than three decades ago and has been producing award-winning wines ever since.

"He is also the only Englishman to have been made a Pilier of Chablis - an honour bestowed on those crafting exemplary expressions of Chablis wine and safeguarding the interests of the region."

The website also features snaps of the siblings.

Emma shot to fame in the early 2000s in Harry Potter.

The actress has also appeared in other films such as The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Bling Ring, The Circle and Little Women.
