Andrew Quady’s change of career from making fireworks to making wine
produced an explosion of its own kind when he created Essensia from the
Orange Muscat grape. It was an instant success and until 1985 he could not
make enough to satisfy demand. Now Quady is the foremost American winery
specialising entirely in dessert wines and continues to win medals
worldwide .In 1975 Quady’s first port-like wine was made from Amador County
Zinfandel. Now it is made from traditional Portuguese varietals such as Tinta
Barocca and Tourigas.

An aroma of honeysuckle and white pepper with a distinctive herbal flavour.A

great dessert wine, with a difference.

Serve Chilled in small glasses and is excellent when paired with desserts and chocolate.
