Carlos Mazo Nace La Sierra

Vinos en Voz Baja is a winery in the historic wine region of Rioja Oriental. It is owned by a husband-and-wife team: Carlos Mazo Gutierrez, an environmental biologist, and Isa Ruiz Marin, a graphic designer. Over the years, the estate has gained momentum and received significant recognition in a short period, including the “Wine of the Year” in Tim Atkin’s 2024 special report on Rioja.

Grenache is the main grape variety produced due to Carlos’s belief in its ability to age long term. The wines are always accessible and delicious to drink in the first few years of release, with massive upside for those to are willing to wait especially with his single plot expressions.

This single vineyard expression delivers a generous, vivid wine, with brisk bramble and blueberry aromas and an elegant, finely textured, silky palate. These are Mediterranean influenced vines, to be sure.

As the label says, these are small production wines, so don’t delay in snapping up this great-value Rioja.
