The farm extends over 270 hectares of which 170 are planted with vineyards with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, as well as more recent plantings of white grape varieties such as Vermentino, Ansonica and Viognier, and a small share of Carménère. The soil, of medium texture, sandy and loamy, has a predominantly siliceous-clay composition and is, in certain areas, rich in stone.
