What are Socalcoes
the original stone terraces of the Duoro. With high walls and a flat vineyard surface. Vines, often just one or two rows on each terrace, are planted along the contour.

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. These are generally regarded as the worst type of system and have not been constructed for around 20 years. The unsupported earth banks are liable to suffer erosion.

What is Vino ao Alta
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."

Describe the difference between Dao and Duoro
Douro is much warmer than the Dao. Because it's so mountainous, the Douro does not benefit from cool winds coming off the Atlantic Ocean. Heat gets trapped in the valleys and summer temperatures can easily reach 40C. The mountains also create a rain-shadow effect on much of the region, leaving it quite arid. Hot plus dry is the recipe for ripe, powerfully flavoured grapes.
