Q

A

These were the more economical earth banks built instead of vertical stone walls. This allowed the mechanisation of many vineyard operations. Vines are planted along the contour.

Q

What is Vino ao Alta

A

The up and down method. where vines are planted up and down the slope, rather than along the contour. This system is limited to slopes of less than around 35%. It is more efficient because there are no earth embankments taking up valuable slope surface, so vine density is higher than patamares. Erosion remains a risk on higher gradients, as does the ability to successfully operate tractors. Alves de Sousa said this system is “better than the terraces with earth banks because you don’t lose so much ground. There is greater density but some erosion.”

Hot plus dry is the recipe for ripe, powerfully flavoured grapes.
