Brendan Tracey

Brendan Tracey is an American punk rocker making wine in the Loire. Three of his bottles are on the shelf with us, two red and one white.

Pour une Poignee de Bouteilles is the odd one out: Pinot Noir, Cot (which is basically Malbec) and Gamay together, light at 12.5% but with a medium to full bodied, slightly inky mouthfeel and no real tannic structure. Black forest fruit, allspice and baked apple, with whispers of smoke and violet. Wah Wah Light 2019 is straight Gamay. Rue de la Soif comes in magnum and is 100% Sauvignon Blanc.

More from the Loire and the rest of France.
