Planting density is between a maximum of 4000 vines per hectare and a minimum of 2000 vines per hectare.

Wine aging for wines under the Designation of Origin Ribera del Duero is carried out in registered wineries. Wine aged in registered wineries can be classified as “crianza”, “reserva” and “gran reserva” by the Designation of Origin.

Red wines have to spend at least one of these two years in oak barrels, with an approximate capacity of 225 litres. Rosé wines minimum aging period in oak casks is six months.
