Discover the best wines made with Solaris as a single variety or as a blend of Crémant de Wallonie.
Aromatic, structured whites with an ample palate and moderate acidity, with intense, muscat-like aromas of yellow peach, apricot, exotic fruits (pineapple, mango), white flowers, honey and discreet herbal notes. Made as both expressive dry whites and sweet wines. A very early, mildew- and powdery-mildew-resistant interspecific variety, driving organic viticulture in northern regions (Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, UK). Created in 1975 in Freiburg (Merzling × Geisenheim 6493).
Belgian sparkling AOP (2008) using traditional method (≥9 months on lees, yield 95 hL/ha close to Champagne), cool temperate continental climate. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Meunier exclusively as signatures in sparkling whites and rosés with lively notes of green apple, citrus, brioche, white flowers and a crisp mineral-saline touch, fine bubbles and Walloon acidity. Star estates: Chenoy, Bioul, Ruffus.
