The wines essentially come from three totally distinct vineyards. The Rexarte vineyard, restructured in 2007, is a hill with exposure to the west and has sandy soil from the Pliocene period and is dedicated to the traditional white varieties Cercial and Bical. In 2009, they acquired a plot of 0.5 ha adjacent to this one, which has the particularity of being a transition zone between clay and sandy soils in which they planted Baga. The vineyard in the Dom Pedro Valley is on a hillside opposite the Rexarte. Separated by a small stream, it has completely different soils: clay-calcareous and sand. This vineyard, with half a hectare, was planted in 2009 with Baga. The Bárrio vineyard is located in a valley. The relief is slightly wavy and the soil is of lime-clay origin, from the Jurassic period. This vineyard is divided into 3 plots: Bárrio Velho (0.2 ha), Cancelinha (1.3 ha) and Bárrio do Forno (1.2 ha).
