The Rock Wall Wine Company (www.rockwallwines.com) represents a new chapter in the East Bay wine making scene. Founded and operated by a small group of wine industry veterans, including consulting winemaker Kent Rosenblum and his daughter, winemaker Shauna Rosenblum, the winery offers wine lovers one of the most unique experiences in wine tasting in the SF Bay Area.
Rock Wall wines was founded on the philosophy of the right grape in the right place and are the result of many long-term relationships with acclaimed vineyards. Grapes are sourced from all over California which creates a diverse wine making environment, complete with different grape varieties, styles and regional flavor profiles.
Ideally situated in Alameda, California, the winery boasts spectacular views of the San Francisco skyline, and more importantly its SF Bay Area locale allows the wine making team to be regionally centralized – ensuring that whether Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, Zinfandel from Sonoma County, Petite Sirah from Contra Costa County or Chardonnay from the Santa Lucia Highlands the winemaking team is able to handle the fruit soon after it is picked.
Housed in a converted 40,000 square-foot airplane hangar the winery is located on what was once a Naval Air Base. Also known as Building 24, the hangar is due north of a defensive rock wall which made up the perimeter of the base. Taking their name from this protective wall, the Rock Wall winery building has been retrofitted with state-of-the-art wine making equipment.
In addition, the vast winery building is also home to other local winemakers and boutique wine brands making it for a very satisfying wine tasting experience. A unique concept, Rock Wall Wine Company is, in essence, a wine center that services the East Bay and all wine lovers throughout the SF Bay Area. And via the wine center, the Rock Wall owners look forward to continuing the legacy of urban winemaking as well as providing an environment whereby making wine tasting and learning about wine fun!
