Rockcliffe

The journey of Rockcliffe Winery began in 1987 when the first vines of Pinot and Chardonnay were planted, marking the inception of what would become a pioneering endeavour in the district.

Below Rockcliffe Winery, granite cliffs lay the groundwork for our terroir. It is these very cliffs that lend inspiration to our name and impart the distinctive character found in our wines. As the vines delve into the fractures of the granite to draw essential water and nutrients, they imbue our wines with unique notes that define the beautiful Rockcliffe Winery. This harmonious interplay between the land and the vines encapsulates the essence of our wines, seamlessly blending tradition with the exceptional geological features of our location.

At Rockcliffe Winery, premium quality and sustainability go hand in hand – it’s at the core of everything we do! We source 100% of our energy from renewable solar power, with any excess energy carefully stored in lithium batteries.

But our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop there. Despite the convenience of having Denmark mains water just 40 metres away, we’ve opted for complete self-sufficiency in water usage. We utilise filtered dam water for irrigation and cleaning purposes, while filtered rainwater – predominantly collected from our roofs – is used to rinse anything that comes into contact with our wine, including pipes and tanks, as well as for drinking water.

Our overarching goal is to operate at the highest environmental standards possible. We’re dedicated to being as sustainable as we can, ensuring that every step of our winemaking process reflects our commitment to both quality and environmental responsibility.
