About - Harris Organic Wine & Spirits

Harris Organic is the only certified organic winery & distillery in Perth.

Here is some information about Harris Organic Wine and Spirits, the only organic vineyard in Perth and the owner Duncan Harris.

History and Founder

Duncan's ancestors first came to Australia as boat people on the first fleet, landing in Sydney in 1788. On those ships were Captain Baker and Sussanah Huffnell. Elizabeth Baker was born in the year of landing. She married a Frenchman, Francois Girard.

They were an entrepreneurial lot, with Francois Girard, owning the Sydney Hotel (1828) Wooloomooloo Dock and another, Michael Hayes, Australia's first accountant, operating one of the first illegal distilleries in Australia in 1805.

Duncan Harris grew up in Tasmania's Tamar Valley, graduating from the Launceston Matriculation College and then studying in Melbourne at RMIT. In the 17 years in Melbourne, Duncan built motorcycle engine prototypes, qualified as a patternmaker and won several awards.

After finishing a Bachelor of Engineering at RMIT, he transferred to Perth in 1993. While working at an automotive research facility he bought the Swan Valley property at Baskerville in 1998. While working full-time, as an engineer, he spent every spare moment building the dream of a vineyard and natural wine-making facilities in the Swan Valley.

Why make organic wines?

Duncan had become intrigued with the world of making organic wine, particularly from the growing of the grapes, the winemaking, maturation and finally the drinking the fruits of his labour.
Duncan belives that certified organic meets all the requirements of triple bottom line accounting. Also, good soil, clean living and great for the environment.
You can enjoy the fruits of them too!

The winery cellar door opened in 2000 and in 2001 Duncan became the full-time vigneron and winemaker.
Tasting fees were introduced in 2002 with the new purpose built cellar door attached to the 1933 built grape processing shed and winery.
Full organic certification was obtained in 2006.

In 2018 and 2019 Duncan became a finalist for the Australian organic farmer of the year award.

On the 17th of June 2019 Harris Organic Wines and Spirits became certified with Southern Cross certifiers, ready for the 2000 vintage..

In 2025 we celebrated 27 years of ownership and 103 years of grape growing in Memorial Avenue, Baskerville.

Commitment to Organics

Duncan believes in sustainablity and organic methods as the only way of saving the planet. He believes that wine is made in the vineyard; to let the vineyard tell the story in the wine, allow it to produce natural wine flavours that give a sense of place, the soil and the "Swan Valley wine region". Dry land organic viticulture assists that.

For those who would like to "do lunch" with my organic wines, we recommend the The Principal in Midland.

As mentioned before, organic certification was obtained in 2006, however it was applied for in 2004 and took 18 months for the paperwork and the inspections to be completed. We just missed out on having the 2006 vintage wines certified as organic. There were two inspections, one as a pre-requiasite and the other as an in-coversion inspection.
Inspector Tom came to see us and was very thorough, giving us good tips and advice as to what was happening in the organic industry in Western Australia at the time.

Organic Wine Mission

Duncan Harris started his Swan Valley winery journey in 1998, working on sustainable and organic principles.

Part of Duncan's organic wine mission involved reducing investment in his single vineyard. Duncan's red and white wines are grown by not using artificial additives and chemicals.

Reducing investment is at the core of Harris Organic’s single vineyard management philosophy; he likes slow food, the organic production process is vital to the health of the body and the environment.

Vertical intergration assists in producing his fine wines and brandy spirits that are all certified organic.
With Duncan's brandy spirit production of organic brandy he uses minimal artificial fossil fuel energy. For example he uses a wood fired pot still and has an underground cellar for natural cool wine storage.

While Duncan's brandy, natural wines and organic wines likewise matures in oak casks, and ultimately sealed in lightweight recyclable glass.

Of all the organic wineries in Australia, he uses very small amounts of grid electrical energy in producing a bottle of alcoholic wine compared with the Australian average. The carbon neutral status increased recently with the purchase of an electric lawnmower. It is amazing how much petrol the lawnmower used to mow the grounds every week.

He has a large amount of solar power excess to Duncan's needs and would love to have a set of batteries to be even more independent from the grid. The other part of Duncan's philosophy is to produce the best natural friendly Australian fine wine and spirits at his Perth winery and the best environmentally friendly Australian wine. We also have a vegan online wine shop and "vegan store perth", and organic wine store, and if you live in Perth there is a bottle shop near me so you can buy natural wines online delivered to your home.
