An area of 80 ha was covered by old vineyards, where the moscatel variety was planted. The project for planting new vineyards started in 2002, in an area of 50 ha. The objective of this project was to plant 50 ha per year, reaching 400 ha in eight years.

In view of the tropical semi-arid climate, with a low rainfall and very sunny, a drip irrigation system, similar to those employed in other regions of the world, is installed throughout the vineyard.

Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Moscatel and other varieties of acclaimed quality and suitable for the peculiarities of the climate and soil in Vale do São Francisco have been planted.
