The Rojac boutique farm produces exclusively organic wines made from indigenous or traditional varieties, such as refosco and malvasia. The wines are natural - the guiding principle is a lot of meticulous work in the vineyard, where top quality grapes are born, only to be brought to a modern cellar and left to take their course, with minimal intervention or monitoring of development, so that nature itself produces a wine that can be served to the customer - as if a bunch of grapes had been squeezed into a glass. This is why Rojac wines are unconventional, authentic, rich, structural and reflect the qualities of the people, the land and the area from which they come. And so it has been for 400 years since the Rojac family's ancestors settled in Gažon, a village on the hills that rise above Izola and Koper. It is no coincidence that back then, in the Venetian Republic, red wine from these places, produced in the best vintages, was called renero and taxed three times more than other wines. In fact, it was a wine with medicinal properties, reserved for the patricians and the Doges of Venice.

This unique micro-climate, coupled with the long-practiced low-yield cultivation technique with only a limited number of vines per hectare, allows Rojac to produce extremely high-quality natural wines of unconventional character.
