The Pegões vineyard is located between two Nature Reserves: the Tagus estuary to the Northwest and the Sado on the Southwest. To the east are the Arrabida hills and to the west the Alentejo province's clays. The unique soil here is named "Pliocenico de Pegões". It is a sandy soil formed over millions of years by sand transported by the rivers Tagus and Sado. It is this Mediterranean climate and soil combination that creates this unique Pegões terroir.

In 2022, average weather conditions allowed all the phenologic states to occur within the normal ranges and the grapes reached good maturity levels with balanced acidity and sugar. The harvest took place at the end of August and into September. The 2022 wines express good varietal character.
