Introduction
OUR STORY
Resting in his barrow the settler takes time to ponder the past and, most importantly, make plans for the future
Harvey River Estate is owned and operated by the Sorgiovanni family (Kevin). The family have a long and significant history within the south-west agricultural industry.
In 1928 Kevin’s father emigrated from Italy and began farming on the banks of the Harvey River. The Sorgiovanni orchards evolved into a standalone business and Harvey Fresh went on to become one of Western Australia’s biggest milk and juice processors.
While working in the family business Kevin continued to run cattle and operate vineyards in the area. The winery business progressed from vineyards into wine production under the Harvey River Estate label in 1999. The first commercial vintage was produced in 2000 and the winery went on to be awarded the Jimmy Watson award for its 2009 Joseph River Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. During this time Kevin was also able to use his export experience to grow the wine business into international markets.
In 2015 a modern, purpose built cellar door, warehouse and administration building was opened. The estate’s vineyards are just 800m away on Fifth Street. With almost 50 acres under vine, planted to Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, these vineyards are some of the largest in the local area. Being to the northern zone of Geographe, the Harvey vineyards are the first to be harvested in the region, starting with the Chardonnay, followed by Shiraz and then Cabernet Sauvignon.
