Who Are Brockenchack Wines?

Brockenchack is a boutique producer, with numerous prestigious awards.  They are situated in the picturesque Eden Valley, high up in South Australia’s famed Barossa region. They sit between 450m and 480m above sea level, making us a cool-climate growing region.

The vineyard is steeped in viticulture history. Its first vines were planted in the late 1800’s and the land has been a working vineyard for over 120 years. It is nestled nicely between Henschke and Yalumba, two of Australia’s most renowned wine producers.

Brockenchack is the realisation of a dream for Trevor Harch. As a wholesale and retail liquor proprietor, Trevor was the unofficial Queensland spokesman for the Barossa. Showcasing and supporting Barossa wineries especially small ones wherever possible is one of his passions. He was also in construction and a farmer of avocados and persimmons.

The next logical step would be to turn your hand to growing grapes and producing your own wine – a beverage for which he had developed a deep affection for in his early thirties. And that’s exactly what he did. In 2007, Trevor and his wife Marilyn bought an established vineyard in Keyneton, Eden Valley. It has 20 acres under vine, and whose grapes were then going into one of Yalumba’s premium reds.

They named the vineyard after their four grandchildren; Bronte, Mackenzie, Charli & Jack. They are the life and soul of this adventure.

The passion and pride in what Trevor and Marilyn produce are evident from the outset. With a mission to always over-deliver on expectation, Trevor set out to make wines that people would love to drink.

Their offerings include three exceptional silky smooth Shiraz labels, as well as a beautifully crisp, dry Riesling; the two main varietals that our region is renowned for. Their portfolio also boasts a Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Shiraz Rosé, Sparkling Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Grenache.

After a very promising first vintage in 2008, Trevor acquired the adjoining land, securing a sustainable water supply and yet another 20 acres of vines, giving him around 100 acres of land with 40 acres under vine. He is now a fully-committed vigneron, living on the property in the vineyard’s original homestead.

With plans of tending to his grapes until he’s 103, Trevor’s vision is to turn this venture into a long-standing, multi-generational family-run winery that will be revered among the best in the Barossa. With 19-year-old Grandson Jack in training to become Brockenchack’s future winemaker & viticulturist, these wheels are already in motion.

They launched website sales in late 2013 and now have a growing premium wine membership that will soon be at capacity. Early in 2017 they launched a luxury bed & breakfast at the vineyard, surrounded by vines in every direction. And to complete their wine tourism offering, they opened our cellar door in 2018.
