More About Us
We're A Collective
Our story began in 2019, founded by Sean “Harry” Harrison and Marcel Hartman, who shared a dream of creating extraordinary wines by bringing talented people together.
Harry Hartman doesn’t own a vineyard.
And that’s the point.
We source grapes from across the Western Cape, a region as diverse as the people who call it home. By working with select, trusted partners, we have the freedom to make wines that show the breadth of South African terroir.
We are a wine company that aspires to behave differently. One with a love for adventure and an appreciation for the wide variety South African soils. This is a South African story told through wine and found through curiosity and discovery.
Not an Estate. A Collective.
Real. Always.
Our Philosophy
Harry Hartman is built on honesty. Every label, every bottle, every partnership has to feel true. We strive to ensure no gimmicks, no shortcuts, no marketing gloss. What you see on the bottle is what you taste in the glass. We are trying to build brands that represent the liquid inside the bottle as accurately as possible.
Rooted in South Africa.

For us, wine is not about chasing trends or playing safe. It’s about showing the raw beauty of this country’s vineyards, from the rugged coast to the inland valleys.
When you open a bottle of Harry Hartman, you’re tasting more than a blend, you’re tasting a piece of the Cape, made with intent and conviction.
Wine is meant to be enjoyed, and we strive to make it accessible to everyone. Our approach is unpretentious and warm, reflecting the essence of true friendship.
Love. Harry.
