Winery Overview
With roots deeply planted in Harvey, the orchards and dairies of our family’s farming history are now the backdrop to picturesque rows of vines at Harvey River Estate.
It was in 1928 on the banks of the Harvey River that the first seeds were sown. Almost 100-years and three generations later our family’s love of the land and region is as fervent as ever.
The wines of our family are uniquely expressive – hand crafted examples of the of the Geographe wine region. We produce wines with elegance and personality that express their sense of place, and our love of pristine fruit flavours.
The vivid open slopes of vines at Harvey River Estate are a chorus of classic varietals - Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon - that were first planted in the Geographe Wine Region, alongside our recent addition of Barbera, Montepulciano and Moscato. They sing the arias of our Italian heritage in some of Western Australia’s most pristine growing conditions.
Our winemaker Stuart Pierce is a purist, and takes a minimal intervention approach to winemaking. A gentle and targeted method for each style of wine. It all starts in the vineyard to allow our winemaking team to reflect and preserve the personality of each varietal’s assets in the glass.
