Where great wine, fabulous food and excellent company meet!
Nestled in Denmark within the Great Southern Region of Western Australia, we have been making quality wines since 2007. We may be just a short 4km drive out of town, but our stunning 36 hectare property feels like you’ve travelled to an oasis of greenery!
Ourcellar dooris open 7 days a week for a unique wine tasting experience, solar-powered pizzas or fresh platters. Be sure to leave room for our homemade gelato or fudge!
Consider us the ‘down to earth winery for people who just love really good wine’. We don’t do fancy cellar door fit outs or promotional items - all our efforts go into what we produce to the highest quality.
The Rockcliffe vineyard was first planted in 1987, and our Pinot and Chardonnay were the first planted in the district. Our wines over the last few years have truly elevated, with our mature vines having an impact.
As one of the few operational wineries in the region, we not only make our own wine but also a lot of other major labels you’ll be familiar with.
Below our roots are granite cliffs that lend unique notes to our wines - that’s also where the inspiration for our name Rockcliffe comes from! The vines exploit the fractures in the granite to source essential water and nutrients and contribute to the quality of our wines.
You’ll also notice the Rockcliffe branding incorporates local seashore landscapes, which reflects the ocean and its significant impact on the vineyard.
Today, Rockcliffe is proud to be an award-winning winemaker, and a popular destination to visit in Denmark.
There are two major things that are always front of mind for us at Rockcliffe - premium quality and sustainability. We strive for both in everything we do!
You might notice solar panels on the roof of our Denmark winery and nearby cellar door. Rockcliffe Winery is proud to source 100% of our energy from renewable solar power with excess energy stored in lithium batteries.
We are also completely self-efficient when it comes to water use - even though we could easily access the water Denmark mains just 40m away from our property. We use filtered dam water for much of the irrigation and cleaning and filtered rainwater, largely collected from roofs, rinses anything that wine touches, such as pipes and tanks, as well as drinking water.
It is our long-term aim to operate to high environmental standards, and we want to be as sustainable as possible.
After a long and successful career as a Geologist all around the world, Steve stumbled upon our 36 hectare property in 2002 and knew his life was about to take a very different direction.
Having visited over one hundred countries and thousands of wineries, Steve could see the potential in Denmark. Over the next 5 years, Steve worked tirelessly to craft the Rockcliffe Winery and continued to develop it into what it is today.
There is no dull moment when Steve is around! He has a wealth of stories and anecdotes to share and is known for making people laugh.
