THE STORY

“Named after the beautiful old Bush Vine Grenache vineyard owned by mates of mine in

McLaren Vale. The Grenache component in this wine is hand picked to best preserve this

glorious old vineyard. We have been taking fruit from this block for many years and it’s one of

our favourites.” - Geoff Merrill

VINTAGE INFORMATION

Above average winter rainfall, which helped set up early growth of the vines. Cooler

 

air and soil temperatures during Spring slowed down vine development delaying har-

vest dates.

 

Crop yields were good as was the quality for both whites and reds, both looking

outstanding with excellent flavour.

WINEMAKERS NOTES

The aroma is an attractive blend of plum and spice with savoury meats and black

pepper. Lighter notes of cherry and violets lift with time in the glass.

A smooth, fine structure gives a great first impression. The bright berry fruit on the

 

mid palate reveals itself as the wine opens up. A very complex wine, with both fresh-

ness and development coming together to produce a smooth and drinkable accom-

paniment to a wide range of foods.

 

FOOD PAIRING

Enjoy with pepperoni pizza, bbq lamb loin chops, beef ribs, Angus beef burger and

some cheese with a bit of bite.

A heartfelt, inspiring travelogue and meditation on living well
Format: Hardcover
Gordon Bernhardt's Buen Camino is a great accomplishment and a thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking read. Gordon opens his generous heart and extraordinary life to his readers and takes us with him, winding through a fascinating, historically informed and personally reflective commentary on the places and people of this ancient journey, his own life, memories, fears, triumphs, his personal commitment to service and growth in his life's work, and his connections with a remarkable community of fellow travelers on the road. The many photographs and questions for personal reflection at the end of each chapter were very effective. I was left with a desire to someday walk this path myself, and with a great appreciation and admiration for Gordon's persistence and positivity, both in making this journey and in his life and work.

A Heartfelt Story to Help Us Embrace Our Personal Journeys
Format: Kindle
“Buen Camino: What a Hike Through Spain Taught Me about Investing and Life” is a heartfelt story by author Gordon Bernhardt about his adventure traveling the Camino de Santiago beginning in France and ending in Spain. It is much more than a travelogue; it is a journey into life lessons both in Gordon’s personal life but also in his professional life. He includes deep revelations, humor, and puts readers in the setting of the pilgrimage through his words and images. I highly recommend this positive book reminding readers to enjoy our moments, appreciate our fellowship with other humans, and embrace our personal journeys.

An inspiring book on the uplifting qualities of the Camino pilgrimage
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
I highly recommend the book, “Buen Camino”, written by Gordon J. Bernhardt. It is focused on his 2018, 35-day pilgrimage/trek called the Camino de Santiago, or The Way of Saint James. The walk starts in the Pyrennes at St Jean Pied de Port in France and ends at the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral in northern Spain, then to the coastal towns of Muxia and Finisterre, 618 miles later. Gordon shares what the pilgrimage meant to him as a way to reset his life, his interaction with the pilgrims along the way and the life lessons learned, how to handle unexpected problems and opportunities, and the importance of stepping away from our busy lives to help us focus on the true priorities. He blends his experience on the Camino with his profession in wealth management, and how helping/interacting with people in his personal, professional, and spiritual life has enriched his existence. After reading this book, you will walk (pardon the pun) with a different view of what is truly important in your life.

This book provides incite on how to live a productive and rewarding life.
Format: Kindle
Gordon Bernhardt does an excellent job describing his adventure traveling the Camino de Santiago beginning in France and ending in Spain. He describes the impact it had on his personal and professional life and how experiences such as this can reward an individual in all aspects of their life. We are all on a journey through life and with the right perspective, which he delineates, can enhance and reward us and those around us. He encourages us to enjoy our journey and interactions with others. I recommend this book for anyone that wants to get the most out of life and benefit from lessons learned along the way.
