Their first major success was a port-like red wine made from the Zinfandel grape. At their winery in Madera, Central Valley, California, they evolved from wine enthusiasts to enthusiastic professionals. In 1980, they launched Essensia, a white port made from the Orange Muscat grape, followed in 1983 by Elysium, a red specialty made from the Black Muscat. In Europe, this grape is known as Muscat Hambourg. Due to high demand both domestically and internationally, the company was revamped, and in 1984, the Quadys were joined by two enthusiastic wine experts, Michael Blaylock (enologist) and Cheril Russell (marketing). Since then, several new specialty wines have been added to the selection, including Starboard and Electra. The Quady Winery is open to the public and features a tasting room and gift shop. Quady Winery's motto is “Keeping it sweet since 1975”.","products":[{"product_id":"essensia-orange-muscat-0375l","title":"Essensia Orange Muscat 0,375L","description":"An American-made dessert wine.

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.","brand":"De Monnik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775815848015,"sku":"11970","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/red-electra-moscato-quady_11970.webp?v=1770202331"},{"product_id":"electra-moscato-quady","title":"Electra Moscato Quady","description":"Compared to other Moscatos, this Electra from Quady is slightly more aromatic, crisper, and more refreshing.
