Oro Verde 2019 - Brendan Tracey

Oro Verde - Brendan Tracey

Oro Verde by Brendan Tracey is a white wine based on Menu Pineau (Orbois), a native Loire vine. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts without temperature control. Unfiltered wine. Unclarified and without added sulfites. A wine that surprises for its clear freshness and lively sapidity. Extremely pleasant, essential and generous. Ideal for pairing with seafood, fish or semi-mature cheeses.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 16/18 ° in tulip-shaped glasses. Wine that can be drunk immediately but will express its best in a few years. In the meantime, it is recommended to keep it horizontally in a cool, damp and dark cellar.

Pairing

Also as an aperitif, Saumur Champigny is a red wine that goes well with medium-aged cheeses, risottos and stuffed pasta, including vegetarian ones.

Cellar: Brendan Tracey

Brendan, a native of New Jersey, spent much of his youth in San Francisco, where his parents moved in the 1960s to follow hippie fashion. He thus comes into contact with the cultural revolution embodied by this city developing a passion for music, listening to psychedelic bands and later approaching punk musicians. Having a French mother, he often visits France and moves there at the age of 15, finishes his studies and returns to America where he joins various punk groups, enjoying some success. He moved permanently to France in 1980 and began working in small independent radios as well as continuing to play (also with Pascal Simonutti); in 2002 finally the encounter with wine thanks to his old friend Thierry Puzelat who will take care of his rigorous enological training. Collecting notions and teachings from all these illustrious friendships, he began producing in 2010, starting with only 2 hectares and reaching the current 5. His entirely natural style is based on maceration and carbonic fermentations that make his wines very lively and recognizable. As a 360 ° artist he also designs all the labels of his wines.
