After five years of intense work, Casa La Ram takes impulse from an 800 hectare hacienda in Ausejo thanks to the effort of a young and solid team that has worked to shape this important project that bets on the quality and responsible use of its own resources as fundamental principles. The project rests on the basis of designing the activity with a privileged environment in an environmental way to sustain or improve its vitality and biodiversity.
On the farm, which until 2014 belonged to the winemaker Alicia Rojas, Bodegas Casa La Rad produces 120,000 bottles of wine a year with selected grapes of 45 hectares between the 110 of its own vineyard planted in which it is the largest hacienda of La Rioja. Marta Castro, which manages the direction of the winery, commercial and export, explains that “we have three different levels of altitudes: 450 meters the farms that are closest to the winery, others at about 600 m and at 780 m the highest. This variety of altitudes along with the plurality of terroir, with more than 5 different types of soil of the wealth and identity of the wines that are made here. most grow in a glass and were planted between 1960 and 1990 ”. Even two hectares are recognized as a singular vineyard and are destined for the monovarietal house La Rad Garnacha.
The first wine of the young winery, Solarce Tinto 2015, was released in 2017. Currently the winery markets five wines under the solar brands (pink, white and red), and Casa la Rad (white and red). This year it presents two novelties of limited edition: the wine by author Alma and the monovarietal of Viñedo Singular House La Rad Garnacha.
The winery is nestled in an 800 hectare hacienda. The one with the largest and unique in the Ocón Valley, in which for centuries the Mediterranean forest together with traditional crops such as olive, vid, almond and cereal coexist in harmony. In it, an native forest of 350 hectares houses holm oaks, oaks, madroños, cloths and acebuches. Deer, wild boars, hares, foxes, squirrels, eagles and partridges, among others, live between their trees, and the three rafts are stopped bird stop throughout the year so it is easy to see geese, ducks and cranes.
Biodiversity of fauna and vegetationIt is key in the success of this project, and a great attraction for the takeoff of wine tourismthat the winery also wants to strengthen this year 2020.
