Harris Organic Wine and Spirits

The best certified organic winery of the Perth Swan Valley wineries with a fascinating example of sustainable viticulture, producing a traditional table, sparkling and dessert wines in the Swan Valley

Harris Organic Wines is an extremely friendly place. Make your way past the cat and free-range chickens to the cellar door of this small boutique winery and you can enjoy a seated tasting of organic wines with winemaker and owner Duncan Harris.

Sustainability is central to Harris Organic's philosophy. The award-winning certified organic wines are made with natural yeasts and the bare minimum of additives and preservatives. The grapes are irrigated only by what they receive from the sky and Duncan never uses any pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilisers.

Minimal artificial energy sources are required. An underground cellar was built to obtain naturally cooler storage temperatures. The wines mature in oak barriques and hogsheads, ultimately sealed in recyclable glass bottles.

You can learn how organic wine is made with a guided walking tour through the vineyard, underground cellar and winery, finishing with a taste of some of the very best of Duncan's organic white wines, organic red wines and fortified sweet wines. He is also licensed to distil spirits and sells his organic vodka and brandy at the cellar door and online.
