Aromatic, structured whites with a full palate and firm acidity, showing aromas of yellow fruits (peach, apricot), citrus, white flowers, honey and mineral notes reminiscent of Riesling. Refreshing. Mildew- and powdery-mildew-resistant interspecific variety, a driver of organic viticulture in northern regions: Germany (Baden), Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, UK and Denmark. German hybrid created in 1968 in Freiburg (Riesling × Seyve-Villard).
Main island of Denmark around Copenhagen, largest wine region in the country, among the most northerly in Europe (maritime microclimates at Røsnæs). Solaris is the flagship white (cold-resistant hybrid): aromatic and lively with notes of citrus, white peach, white flowers, fresh herbs and a honeyed touch, upright acidity. Rondo and Regent hybrids for light fruity reds. Growth driven by climate warming — Cistercian vineyard at Sorø in the 13th century.
