APCOR
“Niepoort”

This project explores the enduring relationship between APCOR cork stoppers and Niepoort wines, revealing how tradition, material, and craft converge in every bottle.
Through intimate imagery captured in historic wine cellars, the streets of Porto, and the quiet rhythm of the montado, the film traces the journey of cork from forest to wine.

Guided by Dirk van der Niepoort, the narrative reflects on winemaking as both science and poetry—where time, nature, and human intuition shape each vintage.
A tribute to cork as a guardian of wine, and to the heritage that defines one of Portugal’s most iconic producers.
