The Pegões Terroir is located between two Nature Reserves – the Tagus estuary to the Northwest and the Sado on the Southwest - on the east side of the Arrabida hills and on the west side of the Alentejo´s province clays.

The Pegões region is unique in climate and soil conditions. The climate is Mediterraneam and the soil - called'Pliocenico de Pegões' - is sandy formed over millions of years by sediment carried by the Tagus and Sado rivers. It is this combination of climate and soil that gives birth to the unique Pegões wines.

Over the last 10 years, Pegões wines have been honoured by more than 500 national and international wine tasting awards.
