From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

An American-made dessert wine. The story begins like an episode fit for a show like "Ik vertrek." Andrew and Laurel Quady, both with good jobs but hectic lives in Southern California, sought peace and quiet and decided to embark on a new adventure in the mid-1970s. They moved to Madera, further north in California, to grow wine. In the early 1980s, Andrew discovered a vineyard with unused Orange Muscat grapes near the town of Reedley, just west of Sequoia National Park. He decided to use them, and Essencia Orange Muscat was born.

Essensia Orange Muscat was discovered by chance and has been produced since the early 1980s. For nearly 40 years, it has been considered a special dessert wine from sunny California. Thanks to the production of Essensia Orange Muscat, Quady's, the couple's winery, became a major player in the international market. The process for creating a bottle of Essensia Orange Muscat is similar to that of Port. During the fermentation process, 15% alcohol is added to halt fermentation and preserve the sweet character of this dessert wine.

Port-like, fresh-sweet, and aromatic. Our oenologists still swoon over the intense aroma and flavor of a glass of Essensia Orange Muscat. This is craftsmanship in its purest form. Your senses will be in overdrive the moment the cap leaves the bottle of Essensia Orange Muscat. The aroma is exuberant and distinct. Poke your nose into the glass, and you'll clearly recognize orange blossom, apricots, and fresh blossom. The flavor is distinct and impressive. A sweet palate lands beautifully on your tongue. You'll taste overripe fruit and fresh oranges. Enjoy this Essensia Orange Muscat chilled with sweet desserts or spicy oriental dishes.
