Description

Andrew Quady introduced his line of Vya Vermouths in 1999 with the idea that vermouth could be appreciated similarly to the way fine wines are enjoyed—for aroma, complexity, and balance. Quady is known for making fortified dessert wines in the San Joaquin Valley of California at Quady Winery.

Vya Whisper Dry Vermouth was introduced in 2012 as a softer, less herbaceous version of Vya Extra Dry Vermouth to harmonize nicely with more subtle spirits like vodka. Whisper refers to a mere “whisper of herbs” in wine. Herbs containing bitter components were excluded from the Whisper Dry formula in favor of those with flower and forest like character.

The base wine is a clean, balanced blend made from San Joaquin Valley grapes. Varietals are a variable mix that may include Orange Muscat.
