The farm layout is practical, with lucerne blocks on the lower levels next to the river and vineyards in blocks on higher levels to avoid frost. One part of the vineyards is well-established, while the other has recently been planted. The total farm area covers 134 hectares, with a water listing (canal and river @ 15,000 cubic meters) covering 72.4 hectares. This agricultural water listing is utilized to irrigate the vineyards and lucerne fields. The vineyards are micro-irrigated from the river, while the lower lucerne fields are flood irrigated from the canal. All areas have excellent drainage for optimal production.

The farm boasts impressive infrastructure, featuring a spacious pump room that accommodates pump (32KVA) and filter systems spanning an area of 160 sqm.
