TWENTY YEARS OF MAKING WINE THE HARD WAY
Honest to its origins. Made by hand. Made for time
Harkham is a small family-owned winery in the Hunter Valley. Eighteen harvests in, the philosophy hasn’t changed. No chemical additions. No flavour adjustments. No filtration. No fining. The fruit is handpicked. The process is minimal. The result is wine that tastes exactly like where it came from — the soil, the sun, the rain, the Hunter Valley itself. Not a manufactured product. A product of nature
MADE RARELY
Then there are the reserves.
In exceptional years, something shifts.
The decision is made early — this won’t be an ordinary wine.
Whole bunch fermentation with stems.
A touch of sulphur to a select few barrels.
Eighteen months in oak.
Bottle aged until the wine is ready — not when we need it to be.
The Harkham Reserve Shiraz.
Made rarely. Built to last
Where the wine is made, and best enjoyed.
Framed by the spectacular Brokenback Range in the heart of Pokolbin, the Harkham cellar door offers one of the Hunter Valley’s most iconic views. Taste the full range of Harkham wines—including reserve wines you won’t find anywhere else. Richie Harkham is regularly in the cellar door sharing the stories behind the wines, creating an experience that’s as authentic as the wines themselves.
After nearly twenty years of making wine, Richie built a space for people to experience it properly.
Long lunches that turn into late afternoons. Seasonal food designed to share. Natural wines poured where they’re made.
Cocktails, firelight, music and the quiet rhythm of the Hunter Valley.
The kind of place people arrive for lunch and leave after sunset.
