Description
Semi-Sparkling wine from Georgia
Amber Sec is dry semi-sparkling wine crafted from Rkatsiteli grapes. This is one of the few grape varieties, alongside Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, that can be used to make sparkling wines.
The wine has a clear, light straw color with golden highlights, a fresh bouquet and a harmonious, structured taste.
Even if you’ve never tried your hand as a sommelier before, you’ll likely be able to detect the fruity notes of peach and dried fruits in this wine.
This sparkling wine has a moderate amount of bubbles, so it’s light and easy to drink and just simply enhances the festive mood when enjoyed with good company.
Wishing you successful purchases and a festive mood!

Five years ago, I fell in love with skin contact wine. The first time I tried it was in New York City and it changed the way I thought about wine entirely. In fact, the reason why I came to work for Silk Road was because they had orange wines in their portfolio. I love our ancestral style wines made in qvevri, but what I’m most excited about at the moment is our new Amber Sec. The qvevri wines are made using 6 months of skin contact, resulting in an intense and robust experience. This can be tricky for those uninitiated with the category. Conversely, our Amber Sec is made in a more modern style, blending four grapes, macerating on the skin for 3 days, and then put through a secondary fermentation cycle, producing light bubbles. This wine is crisp, juicy, and delicious. I highly recommend for those interested in trying a wine made with skin contact for the first time.

Silk Road’s sparkling Amber Sec is my favorite wine in our lineup. With notes of juicy white fruits and a hint of honey, this lightly sparkling wine gently tickles the palate. This wine is perfect for date nights, brunches, or poolside afternoons, and it pairs well with fresh fruit and cheese, sweet treats, or fish.

Great sparkling wine with a very soft and pleasant taste. The bubbles aren’t harsh, so you don’t feel any discomfort even if you take a big sip.

I grabbed this bubbly just to give it a try, I’d been wanting to taste something a little different, not your usual European wine. I’m really happy with my purchase, such a great find!
