Quady Electra Red Moscato (75cl, 5.5%)

A sweet, lightly sparkling red wine from Quady Winery in Madera, California, bottled at 5.5% ABV in a 750ml format. The frizzante-style wine blends Orange Muscat and Muscat Canelli with Black Muscat. Red Electra Moscato diverges from typical moscatos by using Black Muscat, which contributes the garnet-red colour and cherry-berry character. Free-run and pressed juice undergo slow, cold fermentation lasting over a month, then the wine is chilled, sterile filtered and bottled to preserve natural sweetness and delicate effervescence. The nose shows fresh roses, ripe cherry, watermelon, cantaloupe and sweet stone fruit. The palate brings juicy red cherry, berry flavours, sweet peach, candied plum, tart pomegranate and lively acidity, with gentle sparkle. The finish has lingering cherry-syrup sweetness and a trace of rose petal, ending clean and slightly fizzy.
