Fireside Citrus

Description

There’s something about a crisp fall evening that practically begs for a fire—the glow of the flames, a cozy sweater, good conversation, and a glass of something delicious in your hand. Fireside Citrus was made for exactly that kind of moment.

This cozy seasonal favorite starts with Riesling and brings together bright, juicy orange with the warm, aromatic spices of cinnamon and ginger. The citrus keeps it lively and refreshing, while those warming spices give every sip that unmistakable feeling of fall. It’s a little bright, a little spicy, wonderfully cozy, and very easy to imagine yourself sipping beside a crackling fire.

Delicious Chilled or Warmed — A Fall Wine That Works Both Ways

And here’s what makes Fireside Citrus especially fun: it’s delicious cold AND warmed up. Serve it chilled for a refreshing fall pour where the orange really shines, or gently warm it and let the cinnamon, ginger, and citrus aromas fill the room. Warmed, it becomes the kind of wine you want to wrap both hands around while the temperatures drop outside. Think mulled-wine coziness, but with a bright citrus twist.

Borrow Our Firepit

Of course, a wine called Fireside Citrus deserves an actual fire.

If you don’t have a firepit of your own, come borrow ours! Both Brooks Estate and Watson Estate have outdoor firepits, making them the perfect places to settle in with a glass, enjoy the cool autumn air, and spend an unhurried evening by the flames. Bring someone you love, find a comfortable spot, and let us provide the wine and the fire. Want to make a night of it? Book a room at either estate and the firepit is just steps from your door.

And if you do have a firepit at home? Fireside Citrus might just become your new fall tradition. Invite a few friends over, light the fire, warm a bottle, and suddenly an ordinary evening feels like something worth remembering.

Fall evenings don’t last forever—so grab a bottle of Fireside Citrus, find a fire, and make the most of every cozy one.
