A modern vinification method is used for Vina Cerrada Rioja Blanco. When the Sauvignon Blanc and Viura grapes are fully ripe, they are carefully harvested by hand. A strict selection process follows in the winery. The wine is made from only the dripping of the grapes before pressing. Alcoholic fermentation lasts 25 days and takes place at a controlled temperature of no more than 18 degrees Celsius. Malolactic fermentation is deliberately avoided.
