Most Sunshine Coasters would know Trevor Harch as a founder of the Evans Harch construction company, but in his \u201cretirement\u201d, he\u2019s apparently exchanged his spirit level and measuring tape for some pruning shears and a tasting glass!<\/p>\n
Trevor (and wife, Marilyn) have long been Barossa-philes and have recently added to their business interests with a range of \u201cBrockenchack\u201d wines (which, not surprisingly, are available at another Harch enterprise \u2013 Purple Palate).<\/p>\n
The Eden Valley Riesling is a standout; but its quality is as much a product of being blessed by grapes from 100-year-old vines, as it is the winemaker\u2019s skill.<\/p>\n
Although I normally regard Riesling as a food wine, the Brockenchack is very approachable on its own, courtesy of the notes of green apple and pear that cross the palate followed by a tight, crisp finale. It\u2019s nice to see a Riesling that finishes so cleanly without relying on flinty minerality for its steely crispness.<\/p>\n
Good value and great to drink on its own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
