Obriers de la Pèira Harvest 2005 @ the Old Chai | La Pèira
[viddler id=47ee9ecd&w=437&h=288]
We’ve always done things before we were ready.
When we first harvested in 2005 the tanks for vinification only arrived 14 days before the grapes did. To be honest by that point we had been growing grapes all year without anywhere certain to receive the harvest at all.
In that spirit – although we have a beautiful film of the 05 harvest in progress – we’ re putting up some footage shot from a mobile phone during the Obriers de la Peira 05 harvest.
It captures the scrappy ways of our beginning, and shows the sorting process the grapes go through before being transported on a conveyor belt elevator into the (then recently arrived) Inox tanks.
Taste the Obriers de la Peira 2005
So we’ve set aside a case of the wine being harvested above to give away as individual bottles for anyone curious to taste!
Just drop us a line before the end of this week (Sunday 11th of January) at roth109ataoldotcom, or at any of the links below with (a) La Peira and (b) the four letters that each of the four wines we make begin with in the subject, and, with the first 12 received, we’ll send a free bottle of the Obriers de la Peira 2005 to your address!

Cool video, can’t wait to see the finished product! Are you’re wines available in London and if so, where?
Am I too late for the contest? Here are the first four letters: Lape, Lasf,Obri and Deus. I’d really like to try and find the white, French viognier is one of my favs.
Are you going to be at the Independent Vignerons show in London on the 20th of Jan or the Paris show on the 9th of Feb? I would love to chat and taste your wines. I’ll definitely be at the London show but not sure about the Paris one, I’ve got a res. but may not be able to go.
Denise,
The wines can be found in the UK at Berry Bros. & Rudd and through Fields, Morris & Verdin.
Video is a chance to say thanks to some of the great people who work with us. That’s two minutes grape sorting. Imagine ten hours…
Some might find it a noisy distraction, but we have posted just about the wines here, and here.
A bottle of the Obriers 05 is on it’s way! We will (now) definitely be there, but haven’t sighed up to show the wines…
Mind you, we make so little wine either London or Paris could drink the entire production in an hour if we did show.
Will drop you a line and see you then. Keep up the good work with The Wine Sleuth. Thanks.
