Vinos en Voz Baja (whispering wines) is a tiny project in Aldeanueva de Ebro just outside Alfaro at the eastern boundary of Rioja, an area now termed ‘La Rioja Oriental’. Winemaker Carlos Mazo is one of a generation of young, thoughtful producers further driving change towards authenticity and vineyard/terroir specificity. In 2023, Tim Atkin MW anointed Carlos as Rioja Young Winemaker of the Year in 2023, impressed by the elegant, beautifully honest and vibrant wines.

Carlos Mazo ranks as a top 50 producer in Rioja. If you focus on Garnacha, he is making some of the finest in the whole region. Following in the wake of the ground-breaking work of Alvaro Palacios (Palacios Remondo), Carlos takes this work a step further towards a more delicate, transparent, terroir style – his wines will come to define the eastern terroirs of Rioja around Mount Yerga and the Sierra de Los Agudos.

Barrio Pastores is a beautifully rendered red from 100% bush vine Garnacha, aged in large, old oak barrels. Just 2000 bottles made.

Vineyards: Mazaterón (1989), Montote (1989).

"Barrio Pastores - the shepherd's quarter in Spanish - comes from two vineyards in the lower part of Aldeanueva close to the river. Entirely aged in foudres, it's a detailed, elegant, foot-trodden Rioja Oriental red with aromas of violet, fennel and white pepper, caressing tannins and a core of pomegranate and wild strawberry fruit." 95 points - Tim Atkin, MW. *Selected as one of the finest Rioja wines of the year.
