"This is lush, and bursting with blackberry and raspberry juice. It's complex with a lifted, thyme-scented bubblegum note, flowing into a floral palate of violets, hibiscus and sweet peonies. A real pot pourri of a wine, freshened by balancing acidity." 

History: 

"In 1983, a nearby grower brought Andrew Quady some Black Muscat grapes that were previously destined for sacramental wine at a local church. When the church ceased operations, the grower was left with truckloads of ripe, unwanted Black Muscat. The grower heard through the grapevine that newcomer Quady had some success with Orange Muscat, so he knocked on Quady’s door, and the rest is history. On draining the first tank of Elysium the winery began to smell of roses! In Andrew Quady’s amazement he held a naming contest and selected Elysium, “state of eternal bliss” in Greek, as a name for this exciting muscat wine."  

Pair With: 

"Elysium is wonderful with cheeses (especially goat cheese or Gorgonzola), with desserts containing red fruits (such as English Summer Pudding), with dark chocolate and with cream desserts and cheesecake. Elysium poured onto vanilla ice cream is an effortless favorite."
