Andrew and Laurel Quady's winemaking adventure began in 1975. In a small town in the San Joaquin Valley, Andrew Quady discovered an unused plot of rare Orange Muscat grapes. These grapes became the first Essensia Orange Muscat Dessert Wine in 1980. The creation of Essensia marked the birth of Quady Winery's Muscat expertise—where the rich flavors of rare Muscat varietals are celebrated and intensified rather than blended and softened. Since then, they have produced a considerable number of quality wines. The varietals used by Quady Winery are rare, delicious expressions of the fruit-filled San Joaquin Valley. Their winemaking style is rich, full-bodied, perfectly balanced, and unmatched by any other Muscat available. Quady Winery has become known to many as the experts in sweet wine.
Red Electra Moscato was first released in 2000. It is garnet-red in color and tastes of juicy cherries, berries, and pomegranate. It has a beautiful sparkle in the glass. Red Electra is made by combining orange and black Muscat grapes and fermenting them very slowly at a low temperature, so they retain their delicious flavors. That's why Red Electra tastes like a bowl full of cherries. Try it with all kinds of desserts and cheeses, including chocolate bonbons, truffles, spiced Christmas cookies, vanilla, and fruit.
