QUADY NORTH “LA BATTALLA” Quady North founder Herb Quady grew up on his family’s winery in RED BLEND Central California and spent some years working for Bonny Doon and completing a Viticulture and Enology degree at Fresno State. A position with Troon Vineyards took him to the AVA in the Rogue Valley sub-region of Southern Oregon. Quady saw the potential of the Applegate Valley with a more mild climate than the greater Rogue Valley that surrounds it. Cool air is drawn into the valley in the afternoon and the open fields and forests of the area cause heat to escape the vineyards overnight causing 40°F diurnal shifts. These cooling factors are pronounced in the mid-to-late part of the growing season pushing ripening later in the year and drawing out the savory characteristics of , , and Viognier.
