About Us - Australia - Harris Organic Wines

Mission

Part of our mission concerns sustainability. Sustainability is central to Harris Organicâ€™s philosophy of vineyard management; we favour the slow food process of wine production - vital to physical and environmental health. In wine-making we use minimal artificial energy sources. For example we built an underground cellar to obtain naturally cooler storage temperatures while our wines likewise mature in oak, ultimately sealed in recyclable glass bottles. The other part of our mission is to produce the best hot climate micro-batch organic wines available, and as part of a peer review process we stand well in our regional Swan Valley wine show against all other wines.

Vision

Harris Organic Wines vision is to produce healthy, chemical free organic wines, that are good for you and the environment. In order to do this, our certified organic vineyard is fed with composted chicken manure and wood chips, instead of chemical fertilisers. Our organic wines are not generally fined or filtered with no animal additives. We are able to produce the only medal winning certified organic fortified port wine (ports) in Australia as we are self sufficient in brandy spirit production made from our own organic grapes.
