Quinta Vale Dona Maria

Douro · Portugal

A year in the Douro, following the vineyard cycle from pruning to harvest. The land, the time and the people who make the wine.

Documentary project carried out at Quinta Vale Dona Maria, in the Douro, over the course of a full year.

The goal was simple and ambitious: to follow the annual vineyard cycle from beginning to end — from pruning to harvest — and create a visual archive of the work, the land and the people who make this wine. The project resulted in a photographic and video report that captures the rhythm of the seasons, the identity of the estate, the winemakers and viticulturists, and the wine production process, with portraits, video interviews and product photography both on location and in studio.

A year at the rhythm of the vineyard. A document about time, the land and the craftsmanship of Quinta Vale Dona Maria.
