The vineyards are located in mountainous Achaia, in the community of Leontio, and are specifically divided into three large blocks: Mikros Pontias, Michaleika and Amygdalia.

More specifically, Michaleika starts at an altitude of 750 meters and reaches up to 780 meters, with clay-sandy soil and a 15% slope, which favors aeration. The block has a northeast exposure with good drainage capacity and is characterized by a Mountainous Mediterranean climate with cold winters and annual rainfall between 700–900 mm.

Amygdalia is situated at an altitude starting at 890 meters and reaching 960 meters, with clay-loam soil containing limestone, and at higher elevations, schist can also be found. Here, the slopes reach steepness up to 25% , and the vine rows are northeast-facing. Rainfall reaches up to 1000 mm annually, and the significant temperature difference between day and night ensures slower ripening of the grapes, preserving the desired organoleptic characteristics.

The yield per hectare in all the blocks does not exceed 6000 kg per hectare. Refreshing acidity, finesse, and minerality are some of the characteristics of the wines produced from these specific vineyard plots.
