| Since I just wrote the review for the Red Electra, it 
would be a sin not to write the reviews for both the 
Electra and the Essencia, so here I am with the first 
one. Years ago, while looking for some dessert wines, I came 
across two interesting releases, both being Orange Muscats 
from the same firm, but with different strengths, so I 
picked up both. Electra (what a name for a wine folks), is the less 
alcoholic of the two, and has a very upbeat zest to it, 
that in some ways reminds you of a carbonated drink, but in 
a wine, though too heavy/viscuous to be mistaken for a 
sparkling wine.  Upon drinking it, the wine itself flowed 
like silk on my tongue, and had the most wonderful orange 
flavoring to it; for those of you that don't know, I really 
don't like oranges at all.  However, this wine had 
something special and unique to it, though it is challenged 
by its bigger sister, the Essencia. Summarily, Electra is a perfect wine for occasions that 
don't involve pairing it with a heavy meal. It's perfect 
for fruit, salads (maybe even with meat, seafood or poultry 
in them), or as an after dinner drink, or even better 
paired with desserts, including chocolate.   |
