The orography is part of a series of high plateaux ranging between 350 and 700m., with a smooth topography with wide wavy curvature. The west part appears to have more topographic features due to the foothills of the Moncayo Massif., which has a considerable influence on the climate of the area, giving specific characteristics to the wines.
One of the features that is currently more effective when introducing the area and which helps to a better vinyeard cultivation is the study of the soils.
The soil that prevaiis in the D.Q. is limy-brownish and terrace, and medium stony soil, good drainage, fair levels of organic materials and rich in nutrients. It also includes ferrous-clayey soil to the sides nearest to Moncayo, where it is of a more stony surface.
