Essensia Orange Muscat 0.75L

An American-made dessert wine. The story begins like an episode fit for a show like "Ik vertrek." Andrew and Laurel Quady, both with good jobs but hectic lives in Southern California, sought peace and quiet and decided to embark on a new adventure in the mid-1970s. They moved to Madera, further north in California, to grow wine. In the early 1980s, Andrew discovered a vineyard with unused Orange Muscat grapes near the town of Reedley, just west of Sequoia National Park. He decided to use them, and Essencia Orange Muscat was born.
