Fire Orchard Reserve — A Golden Ember Born of Autumn’s Flame

Limited Edition • 12 Bottles • $20 each
Available October 11, 2025 — Harvest Fest at Allenholm Farm, South Hero, VT
(Foul weather date: October 18)

There’s a fire that doesn’t burn — it glows.

It’s the warmth of a late Vermont harvest, the hum of saffron on the breeze, the honeyed smoke of chilies roasted beside mango and apple. Zisditik Fire Orchard Reserve was crafted for that moment — where sunlight gives way to embers, and flavor becomes memory.

🌾 The Harvest Behind the Flame

This Reserve release is our autumn opus — a radiant sauce that bridges orchard sweetness and volcanic heat. Each small batch begins with a slow roast of tomatoes, red peppers, onions, and fruit from the orchard — mango, pineapple, green apple, grapefruit — until their edges caramelize into gold.

We layer that natural sweetness with roasted Apocalypse Scorpion, Habanero, and Thai chilies, softened by rehydrated guajillo, pasilla, arbol, and red hot chilies. The result is not just heat — it’s depth: smoke, fruit, and umami locked in an amber swirl.

💎 The Saffron–Date Alchemy

Each bottle is finished with a saffron–date infusion, a golden elixir steeped in apple cider vinegar and Vermont-made date syrup.
It threads through the sauce like sunlight through mist — delicate, floral, and impossibly smooth.
It’s not about burning the tongue. It’s about warming the spirit.

🔥 The Heat You Can Feel in Color

The flavor arcs like a story:

Opening: mango, pineapple, apple — bright, floral, tropical light.
Heart: roasted tomato, black garlic, red bell pepper — savory and grounded.
Rise: habanero and scorpion crescendo — radiant, lingering, never cruel.
Finish: saffron, balsamic, and date — a golden afterglow that hums instead of screams.

The heat is assertive — yes — but kind. It lingers with purpose, not punishment.

🏺 A Reserve Meant to Be Shared (Or Not)

Only twelve 8-ounce jars were bottled from this batch. Each one signed, numbered, and sealed. Once they’re gone, they’re gone — no repeats, no recreations. Fire Orchard Reserve is an experience, not a product.

Each jar was hot-filled by hand, strained silk-smooth, and left to mature a few days — allowing the saffron to bloom into the fruit and chilies like perfume through fire.

🌽 Harvest Fest: Where It All Unfolds

Join us Saturday, October 11, 2025 (10 AM – 3 PM) at Allenholm Farm in South Hero, Vermont — home to apple trees older than the town itself.
We’ll be there with the Zisditik lineup — the bright, the smoky, the wild — but Fire Orchard Reserve is the centerpiece.

This isn’t just a tasting; it’s a conversation between land and flame. Between fruit and fire. Between you and the craft.

🥄 Serving Notes

Drizzle over seared scallops, roasted root vegetables, grilled pork, or aged cheddar.
Mix into a vinaigrette with olive oil and tamari for a warm, autumn salad.
Or keep it pure — a drop on the tongue, like sipping liquid sunlight.
