An atmospheric image, Pinot Noir at Midnight, by American photographer Heather Daenitz, is the Overall Winner of Errazuriz Wine Photographer of the Year, a category of World Food Photography Awards sponsored by Broccolini®, which celebrates food and drink photography.
Under the glow of a tractor’s lights, vineyard workers handpick Pinot Noir in the cool, misty midnight air at Sanford & Benedict Vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills, an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located at the western end of the Santa Ynez Valley in California’s Central Coast wine region. One worker adds his contribution to the back of the tractor, a cascade of Pinot Noir falling from his picking bin.
The Places sub-category was won by Italian photographer Alessandro Anglisani with a capture of a vineyard in Oltrepò Pavese, a historical region in the province of Pavia in Lombardy, Italy. French photographer Franck Tremblay won the Produce sub-category with ‘The Hand in the Vat’, taken during devatting at Domaine Alain Graillot in Crozes-Hermitage, a wine Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) in the northern Rhône region of France.
All the winners of the competition’s 25 categories were revealed by chef, restaurateur and food writer Yotam Ottolenghi at the Mall Galleries in London on Tuesday (20 May) at an awards evening.
This year’s judging panel for the Errazuriz Wine Photographer of the Year category of the Awards included Pepa Chadwick, Family Ambassador, Viña Errázuriz & Viña Seña, Yasia Williams, Art Director, Octopus Publishing, Patrick Grabham, Art Director, Decanter Magazine, Sarah Pither, Senior Creative Designer for Berry Bros & Rudd and Kerrie McCallum, Editor-in-Chief, Delicious Magazine.
