winemaker's notes:
In 1990, we decided to produce a new type of dessert wine, light, delicate and very refreshing. We tasted Orange Muscat grape juice as it was turning into wine. When the juice was just on the verge - halfway betwen 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%). The wine was bottled using sterile filtration to prevent refermentation and the new creation named Electra after the electric like texture one notices on the tip of the tongue. This is a picnic wine, light delicate and refreshing, a breath of springtime, a bouquet of flowers with the taste of peach and melon. Electra goes well with spicy picnic foods, salads, pastas, and dessert.

I first tasted this exquiste wine at Wine Wizard Alex Sebastian's Wooden Angel Restaurant. It is not readily available in my local shops and I searched feverishly for the "wine with the angel on the label." Since that time, I have served it at our neighborhood's annual Christmas Progressive Dinner (we supply the Dessert Table) where the ladies fought over the last drops in the bottle, at our annual Summer Outdoor Cocktail Party (everyone can drink this mellow nectar), and have savored it over romantic dinners with my husband. It is well worth looking for and the perfect addition to any intimate dining occasion; the perfect wine to share with people you care about.

Wow! With such a FABULOUSLY sweet flavor, this wine is perfect for those who want an excellent picnic/dessert wine. Not too crisp, nor terrbily complex, this wine would be excellent for those just learning about wine as well. I'm a big fan of Port -quite different from this Muscat- but I'll be getting at least a case! This would be a great wine for anyone!
