Vinos en Voz Baja (whispering wines?) is the project of Carlos Mazo in Aldeanueva de Ebro in what used to be known as Rioja Baja but has changed its name to Rioja Oriental (!). In 2021, he has new facilities where he already fermented the 2020s from the 10 vineyards in Alfaro, Aldeanueva, Rincón de Soto, Autol and Calahorra, a total of six hectares in this Mediterranean zone of Rioja where he produces some 23,000 bottles in search of the expression of the place while keeping the freshness.
The white 2022 Costumbres Blanco was produced with a regional blend of 40% Viura, 30% Calagraño, 20% Garnacha Roya and 10% Tempranillo Blanco from individual vines interplanted with the red ones. All the musts fermented together, and the wine matured in used 300- and 400-liter oak barrels for 11 months. It has a moderate 12.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.3. It's primary, young and fruit driven, with notes of white fruit and flowers. It is elegant and balanced, with a serious finish. 2,200 bottles and 36 magnums were filled in August 2023.
