Apple Cider Spitz

As the leaves turn golden and the evenings grow crisp, nothing captures the flavor of fall quite like an Apple Cider Spritz. This Sauvignon Blanc cocktail is light, refreshing, and infused with cozy autumn notes — the perfect blend of elegance and ease. At Murrieta’s Well Estate Vineyard, we believe great wines should inspire great moments. The Apple Cider Spritz celebrates the balance of our Livermore Valley Sauvignon Blanc with the comforting flavors of unfiltered apple cider and a sparkling touch of Brut. It’s the ideal fall wine cocktail to serve at harvest dinners, Friendsgiving gatherings, or a relaxed evening at home.
