Wines made from Solaris grapes of Stockholm
Discover the best wines made with Solaris as a single variety or as a blend of Stockholm.
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).
Capital region of Sweden (Selaön), emerging viticulture aided by climate warming, among the world's most northerly vineyards (Blaxsta), 20% more daylight than Bordeaux. Solaris is the signature white king (cold-hardy PIWI hybrid): aromatic and taut with citrus, white peach, white flowers, herbs and a honeyed touch, straight acidity. Rondo and Regent as light fruity reds. Premium specialities: concentrated ice wines and traditional-method sparkling.
