Building a Muscat Expertise With Andrew Quady of Quady Winery

While there, Andrew discovered an unused patch of the rare Orange Muscat grape varietal, known in Italy as Moscato Fior d'Arancio. These grapes became Quady Winery’s first full-bodied sweet wine, Essensia, and marked the birth of the winery’s Muscat expertise.
