Quady Winery: The Sweet Wine Specialists
Quady Winery is a family-owned winery located in Madera, California. Founded in 1975 by Andrew Quady, the winery has become known as the home of the sweet wine specialists. With a focus on unique and flavorful wines, Quady Winery has gained a loyal following of wine enthusiasts who appreciate their innovative approach to winemaking.
The winery's signature wines include Electra and Red Moscato, Essensia, Elysium, Starboard, and Vya Vermouth. These sweet wines are made from grapes grown in California's Central Valley and are crafted using traditional methods combined with modern techniques to create complex flavors that are both delicious and memorable.
Electra is one of Quady Winery's most popular wines. Made from Muscat grapes, this light-bodied wine is slightly effervescent with flavors of peach and apricot. It pairs well with spicy foods or can be enjoyed on its own as a refreshing summer drink.
Red Moscato is another fan favorite at Quady Winery. This red wine is made from Black Muscat grapes and has notes of raspberry jam and dark chocolate. It pairs well with desserts or can be enjoyed as an after-dinner drink.
Essensia is a dessert wine made from Orange Muscat grapes that have been dried on straw mats before being pressed into juice. This process concentrates the sugars in the grapes resulting in a richly flavored wine with notes of honey and orange blossom.
Elysium is another dessert wine made from Black Muscat grapes that have been dried on straw mats before being pressed into juice. This process creates an intense flavor profile with notes of blackberry jam and dark chocolate.
Starboard is a fortified port-style wine made from traditional Portuguese grape varieties grown in California's Central Valley. It has flavors of caramelized sugar, toasted nuts, figs, dates, raisins which make it perfect for pairing with cheese or chocolate desserts.
Vya Vermouths are artisanal vermouths crafted using botanicals sourced locally whenever possible to create unique flavor profiles that pair perfectly with cocktails or can be enjoyed on their own over ice.
In addition to their signature sweet wines, Quady Winery also produces dry white wines such as Vermentino which pairs well seafood dishes like oysters or grilled fish; Grenache Rose which goes great alongside salads; Petite Sirah which complements hearty meat dishes like steak or lamb chops; Zinfandel which pairs perfectly alongside BBQ ribs or burgers; Cabernet Sauvignon for those who prefer full-bodied reds; Syrah for those who enjoy bold flavors paired alongside roasted meats like beef brisket or pork shoulder roast among others
