Electra is light, delicate and refreshing, with a light spritz. In 1990, Quady decided to produce a new type of dessert wine, light, delicate and very refreshing. They tasted Orange Muscat grape juice as it was turning into wine. When the juice was just on the verge - halfway between wine and grape juice, a small test batch was bottled. The wine tasted wonderful, but the alcohol was only 4% (most wines are at least 12%).
Owner Andy Quady describes his Electra and urges you to take advantage of this deal for the holidays.

First there were two – Andrew and Laurel Quady left crowded southern California and their jobs in pyrotechnics and merchandising to pursue their dream: a non-urban way of life making wine. Returning to school, Andrew graduated with a Masters in Food Science-Enology from UC Davis and Laurel became a licensed CPA. In 1975, at the urging of friend Darrell Corti, they made their first port from Amador County Zinfandel at the now defunct Lodi Vintners where Andrew was working as an assistant winemaker. In 1977, settled in Madera in California’s Central Valley with Andrew working at Heublein, they built a small winery behind their country home and made port on evenings and weekends.
Quady Winery specializes in dessert wines from under-appreciated muscat varieties, in ports, and in aperitif wines.
