The estate is located close to the commune of Ausejo in the Rioja Baja Bja sub-region in Rioja in Spain. Gonzalo Rojas started producing wine at his first bodega in Laguardia as a young man in 1920, these were extremely popular among the French merchants. In 1962, at the age of 65, he bought 1.000 hectares of fallow land (previously a hunting reserve of the Marqués de Legarda), and started developing part of the land for viticulture. That is considered to be the founding date of the estate. Today the estate is run by Alica Rojas. The vineyard area totals 125 hectares. The area is planted with Tempranillo (60 ha), Garnacha Tinta (32 ha), Graciano (12 ha), Viura (10 ha), Malvasía (8 ha) and Mazuelo (3 ha). The Collado de la Estrella vineyard site, which has an extent of 20 hectares, is cultivated along strict organic wines. A wide range of wines is produced, including, for example, the following brands resp. ranges: „Mariott” (Tinto Joven, Crianza, Reserva), „Collado de la Estrella”; „Solarce”; „Solarce Ecológico” (all three ranges include Blanco, Rosado, Tinto, Crianza, Reserva); „Alicia Rojas” (Blanco made from Viura, Crianza from Tempranillo, Reserva from 80% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano, 10% Mazuelo); as well as the flagship wine „Alicia Rojas Private Collection Reserva” from selected, top-quality grapes (60% Tempranillo, 30% Graciano, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon). In addition to viticulture, there are various other farming activities (almond trees, olive trees, cereal farming, bee-keeping, breeding sheep).


The vintage 2008

Unfortunately, no wines have been submitted for several years now, so that we are unable to form a meaningful opinion on the current performance of this producer. For this reason, we see no option but to suspend the classification until further notice.
