Winemaker Carlos Mazo is one of a generation of young, thoughtful producers further driving change towards authenticity and vineyard\/terroir specificity.

In a landscape of high yield, barren personality wines, he farms ancient genetic material in the form of old bush vines that have been in his family for many generations. A beautifully rendered red from bush vine Garnacha, aged in large, old oak barrels. Just 2000 bottles made. \\\u0026quot;There is a new and impressive red 2020 Barrio Pastores, a village wine produced with old Garnacha grafted on Rupestris du Lot roots. It is perfumed and floral with moderate alcohol (13.8%) and with a medium-bodied palate with very fine tannins and a dry, austere finish. It has impressive freshness and a pH of 3.2 with 6.5 grams of acidity. The production tried to replicate the wines from yesteryear, and they achieved a clean, fine, soft, perfumed and happy red through foot-trodden grapes and maturing in large oak vats for 10 months. Superb debut. 2,000 bottles were filled in August 2021.\\\u0026quot; - Luis Gutierrez, Robert Parker\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":513,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"12\":0}'\u003eCarlos Mazo's focus is Garnacha, and 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;Wines in a Low Voice' is the project of Carlos Mazo in the eastern most corner of Rioja.
