WINEMAKING
The fruit was machine picked then destemmed/crushed into small open fermenters and inoculated. The fermenters were pumped over with aeration twice a day, temperature was held around 25°C, then allowed to warm up for a long post fermentation maceration. The wine was then transferred in barrel for its malo- lactic fermentation, allowing a soft integration of the grape and oak tannins. The wine was fined with egg whites then bottled after 15 months maturation.
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.
