Wines made from Solaris grapes of Østlandet
Discover the best wines made with Solaris as a single variety or as a blend of Østlandet.
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).
Viticultural frontier of south-east Norway (around Oslo, brief summers, extreme latitude). Solaris leads in vibrant whites of lemon, green apple, grapefruit, watermelon and a mineral-acidic touch recalling Riesling. Rondo delivers fine, fresh reds of red fruits, cherry and tart Nordic notes, often as rosé. Hybrid Pinot Noir and emerging sparkling wines.
