Quady Essensia Orange Muscat: A Burst of Sunshine in a Bottle (37.5cl)

Calling all lovers of sweet wines! If you’re looking for a delightful dessert wine that explodes with citrus and apricot flavours, then look no further than the Quady Essensia Orange Muscat. This 37.5cl half bottle from California is a taste sensation, perfect for after-dinner indulgence or special occasions.

A Winemaking Legacy

The Quady Essensia is the brainchild of Andrew Quady, a winemaker who left the world of fireworks behind to create a splash in the world of wine. His innovative approach to using Orange Muscat grapes resulted in the Essensia, a wine that quickly gained recognition and awards.

Aromatic Delights

Pour yourself a glass of Quady Essenia and be greeted by a vibrant, rich gold colour that hints at the treasures within. The first whiff will transport you to a sun-drenched citrus grove. Aromas of orange blossom, apricot, and a touch of spice dance in the nose, promising a flavour explosion.

A Symphony of Sweetness on the Palate

Take a sip and prepare to be delighted. The Quady Essenia is a full-bodied sweet wine that lives up to its name. The sweetness is balanced beautifully by a refreshing acidity, ensuring the wine finishes clean and crisp. The dominant flavours are those promised by the nose: orange and apricot take centre stage, with hints of peach and pear adding complexity. The touch of spice lingers on the finish, adding another layer of intrigue.

Food Pairings for Pure Pleasure

The Quady Essensia is a versatile dessert wine that pairs beautifully with a variety of sweet treats. Here are some suggestions to elevate your next dessert course:

• Classic Pairings: Fruit-based desserts are a natural match for the Quady Essensia. Pair it with a classic tarte tatin, a crumbly apple pie, or a summery peach melba. The wine’s sweetness complements the fruit flavours without overpowering them.
• Chocolate Decadence: Don’t be afraid to explore richer desserts. The bright acidity of the Essensia cuts through the richness of dark chocolate, making it a perfect partner for a flourless chocolate cake or a decadent chocolate mousse.
• Cheese Please: While unconventional, the Quady Essensia can also hold its own against certain cheeses. Try it with a creamy blue cheese or a sharp cheddar for an interesting contrast of sweet and savoury.
• A Touch of Citrus: For a truly delightful experience, incorporate citrus flavours into your dessert. A light and airy lemon cake drizzled with a simple syrup or a tangy orange posset will be beautifully complemented by the Quady Essensia’s citrus notes.

Beyond Dessert

The Quady Essensia’s versatility extends beyond the dessert course. Its sweetness and vibrant flavours make it a great choice for an aperitif. Serve it chilled before a meal to whet your guests’ appetites.
