Rockcliffe Wines, Denmark WA

Rockcliffe is rated as 5 red stars in James Halliday Wine Companion.

Rockcliffe is named after the stretch of 100m high granite rock cliffs that dominate the eastern end of Denmark’s main bay. The same granite lies beneath the winery and gives distinctive characteristics to the wine.

Our brands reflect our love of the Ocean and how important it is to the vineyard. Located less than 15km from the Southern Ocean, we are gifted with sea breezes all summer to cool the vineyard, creating the perfect conditions for the slow ripening, cool climate styles that symbolize the Great Southern.
