Elysium Black Muscat Quady (Half bottle) 2023
Quady Wines specialises in dessert wines and has built a worldwide reputation for producing elegant and expressive sweet wines. Founded by Andrew Quady, the winery’s expertise spans Portuguese varietals, Muscats, and inventive dessert wines. Vineyard The Black Muscat grapes are sourced from well-drained, alluvial soils in California. Originally destined for sacramental wine, these grapes were recognised for their exceptional ripeness and character. Winemaking The grapes are crushed, chilled, and macerated to extract delicate aromas and flavours. Fermentation is arrested with neutral grape brandy to preserve the fresh, ripe fruit character. The wine is then aged for three months in small French oak barrels, enhancing its aromatic complexity and texture. Tasting Notes Brilliant crimson-purple in colour, Elysium offers aromas of ripe berries, rose petals, strawberries, and lychee. Vibrant acidity balances the sweetness beautifully, making the wine refreshingly expressive and elegant. Food Pairing Perfect with desserts, fruit tarts, soft cheeses, or enjoyed on its own as a refreshing sweet wine.
Essensia Orange Muscat Quady (Half bottle) 2022
Essensia From 100% Orange Muscat with an aroma reminiscent of Orange Blossom and Apricot, and a lingering refreshing aftertaste, Essensia is used as a dessert accompaniment or a dessert in itself. The Orange Muscat grape variety is little known. It was once grown in France and there are some small plantings in Italy and Australia. The wine is lightly fortified to about 15% alcohol and aged for 3 months in French Oak. The wine tastes balanced, like the taste of fresh fruit. Essensia's vibrant flavour makes it an excellent accompaniment to desserts, particularly chocolate and those containing almonds, peaches, apples, or apricots. It is also used for dipping biscotti, for moistening cakes, or for adding to trifles. With sparkling water, it makes a refreshing spritzer; with sparkling wine it makes Essensia Royale.
