The origin of Rockcliffe was an 18 acre expanse of apple orchards set in the Eden-like paradise of Denmark, West Australia. In the late 1980’s a family acquired the property, christened it Matilda's Meadow and commenced the planting of dry grown vines. In 2002 Steve Hall, a geologist, became the new owner and, under his enthusiastic direction, Matilda’s Estate underwent a refurbishment of the Cellar Door, Art Gallery & Restaurant.
Coby Ladwig, previous co winemaker of West Cape Howe, quickly joined the team; followed in 2011 by Luke Eckersley, previously with Forest Hill. They brought a history of success, enthusiasm and an extensive range of skills to the winery. In 2007 the building of a brand new winery that can facilitate producing 50,000 cases of wine per year signalled a new stage in the evolution of the brand and business.

We have our own vineyards. We think this is important. It means we practice what we preach. We roll up our sleeves and get stuck in. It gives us the knowledge and capability to experiment, innovate and develop our own unique tasting wines. Made by Boutinot is more than just our vineyards and cellars in France, Italy, South Africa and England. It’s our longstanding relationships with hundreds of winegrowers around the world.
We craft our wines by both vinifying fruit from our own vineyards, and by selecting and blending wine from partner growers. Our winemakers together with our partners bring our winemaking philosophy to life. It's their mission to ensure all Made by Boutinot wines are crafted to taste the way a Boutinot wine should. Never losing sight of our vision to create high quality wines at every price point.
