Malbec Experience, a photo from Mendoza, North

Photographer's Note

Brought from the Bordeuax region of France in the mid-19th century, Malbec is considered the symbolic grape of Argentina. It has adapted so well to the climate of Mendoza that today the region produces almost 60% of Malbec wines from around the world.

At the Tierras Altas winery, I had the opportunity to make a visit called the "Malbec Experience", where we started out tasting a Malbec Rosé, shown in the main picture. Then we tasted a Malbec Red straight from the stainless steel tanks, that can be seen in the first workshop, where the wine is stored during the first year. Heading to the winery cellar, we tasted the wine in its next storage stage, the oak barrels of the second workshop. You can also see in this last photo a bottle on the table, unlabeled and dusty, that contained the most expected liquid of the tour: a 2004 Malbec reserve! Cheers!

Hello Alexandre,
An excellent close-up photo of the bottle and the glass. The light was perfect. The photo has got very good sharpness and the foreground stands out so well from the blurry backdrop.

Hello Alexandre, I have seen a great many vineyards and wineries around the world, interesting to see but I am not interested in any testing. These huge steel tanks look strange to me, usually, I saw wooden ones. Nice composition.

Cheers!

Hello Alexandre,
Similar to your last post but a whole generous bottle this time. The workshop photos provide interesting complements and are nicely taken with well handled light.
Regards,
Gert

From its close range, the red wine looks transparent and clear, Alexandre.
Though, I would not know what it means, but sure it has some value to wine admirers like you...
Fine photo on the outcome with the blurred background enhanced details of the bottle and glass.
Bom dia,
Ike

Hello Alexandre,

Five year ago chose the jury the wine Argentine if best in the area.
Sharpness and clarity are pleasant to look at.
Composition and presentation are superb.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

fiz um degustação de vinhos em santorini, lembro que tomei o copo de uma turista saudita que não podia beber. haha.
bacana essa composição usando a garrafa, a taça e o barril na composição.

abraço

Hello Alexandre
I think the moderators are true wine lovers and have therefore allowed this promotion of this wonderful wine. In addition, you have made wonderful use of a limited depth of field for the photo, making the still life even better.
Well done!
Have a nice day. Groet Rob

adramad (67044) 2019-08-26 10:05

Hola Alexandre.
Una magnífica imagen, que es todo un homenaje a esas tierras vinicolas, la botella con ese vino de precioso color rosado junto a la copa de cristal sobre un tonel, forman una gran composicion.
Un magnifico colorido que da mucha riqueza cromatica a la imagen.
Muy buena gestion de la iluminación y muy buena nitidez, en este primer plano.
Bien hecho. Me gusta.
Te deseo una agradable semana.
Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.

Pozdrav.
Volim da pijem vino.
Vinarije su uvek privlacile moju paznju, posebno gotovo vino od dobrih majstora. Francuzi su dobri majstori za vino i konjak. Pio sam francuska vina i konjake.
Ziveli.
Paja.

Greeting.
I like to drink wine.
Wineries have always caught my attention, especially the fine wines from the good craftsmen. The French are good masters of wine and cognac. I drank French wines and cognacs.
Cheers.

Ola Alexandre Obviously you had more than a few sips before taking the picture; the bottle is half-empty!! Nevertheless your photographic know-how is evident, so conveyed by a shallow focus depth. Abracos

rychem (72179) 2019-08-27 7:11

A very nice composition, I can understand you enjoy this wine and are a gourmet of good wines, a nice idea for a photo
regards Ryszard

pierrefonds (103621) 2019-08-27 18:31

Hi Alexandre,

The wine bottle is an eye-catcher. The point of view is showing the details of the glass and of the bottle of wine. It is clear and precise. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Alexandre, that organized visit to a winery in Mendoza region was a rewarding experience. The wine bottle and the glass are well presented on the barrel. They invite to try and enjoy the Malbec.

Royaldevon (75510) 2019-09-10 6:47

Hello Alexandre,

Along with the w/s, you have explained much about the production of Malbec wine.
I suppose, the finished product, in a glass and ready to drink has to be the one used as the main post! We are all eager to partake!
Fine use of shallow dof.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

mkamionka (61306) 2019-09-17 8:48

Hi Alexandre,
another brilliant composition which well illustrate one of the important aspects of the country.
Nicely blurred background with perfectly sharp bottle, glass and standing on a barrel.
Very creative reportage,
M

Hello Alexandre,
What a pretty advertisement for Tierras Altas wine! I wish I were there to partake of it. 👍🏻👍🏻
