Wine
At Rockliffe Hall we believe the difference between good wine and great wine is its ‘uniqueness’. Awarded the AA Notable Wine List 2018-19.
Our philosophy is simple – we are passionate believers that great wines are made in the vineyard and we have an affinity with winemakers who understand and respect their ‘sense of place’ and who strive to use sustainable viticultural methods, rather than applying unnecessary pesticides, fungicides and herbicides.
The greatest wines are made by inspired artists who work hand in hand with the vineyard site to harness the natural expression of the grapes grown there.
In every region of the wine-producing world there is usually a winemaker whose approach is slightly different to that of his or her neighbours, and this is usually the wine you will find on our wine list.
