My current favorite wine in the Silk Road portfolio is KindzMarauli. This wine is an overall crowd pleaser. It has the ability to transition those that typically prefer dry wines, to the sweeter side, in such an astonishing way. Also, those on the opposite end that typically only drink wines with higher levels of sugar, equally enjoy this wine. They get to experience a wine that is naturally semi sweet, well balanced, with a higher level of alcohol, than most of the sweet wines they are accustomed to. I also love that it is extremely versatile for food pairing. It can serve as a great wine to pair with a main dish such as slow oven roasted pork belly, which is my personal favorite pairing to date. Then it can also pair wonderfully with dessert, “homemade vanilla ice cream, anyone?” Before savoring, you have to take a moment and appreciate the beautiful pronounced aromas of ripe dark berries, crushed rose petals and hints of vanilla spice this wine displays. Then you are ready to capture the amazing velvety texture on the palate and flavors that mirror the aromas. Cheers!

I would say my favorite Silk Road wine of the moment would be the KindzMarauli. I don’t typically go for a semi-sweet wine but the jammy, warm vanilla, baking spice flavors and aromatics provides a nostalgic experience of holiday cooking with my family. It’s a great wine to cozy up with on a cold day.
