Quady Essensia

This wine is from United States, California region. Essensia is a full-bodied sweet wine made with Orange Muscat Grapes. The experience of Essensia is unmistakable: a rich gold in the glass is accompanied by spicy orange-apricot-pear flavors and aromas, blanced with perfect fruit acidity to finish clean, tempting you for one more sip.In 1980, Andrew Quady's discovery of underused Orange Muscat grapes in Reedley, California, led him to make a wine that celebrated the intense aromas and spicy fruit flavors of the grapes. ”Essensia” refers to the idea that the wine contains the very essence of the grape. In Italy the variety is known as Moscato Fior d'Arancio: Orange Blossom Muscat.. This sweet and flavorful wine has an orange-amber color and one of the most floral, perfumed aromas of any wine from anywhere. It smells like a giant bouquet of roses, jasmine and honeysuckle and tastes similarly, buoyed by apricot and peach flavors and a lively streak in the texture.#94 Top 100 of 2016
Sultry and heavy-lidded, this is full to the brim with marmalade and Seville oranges. It is bruised and wild, a succulent peach juice with fresh underlying acidity and a long finish.
Pours a pretty amber color. A lively nose bursting with orange blossom, as advertised, plus apricot and lemon sherbet. On the palate, it's sweet-tart tangerine with notes of burnt honey that linger through the finish. - 2017 Ultimate Wine Challenge (Great Value) MUSCAT BLANC A PETITS GRAINS Wine
