Discover the best wines made with Solaris as a single variety or as a blend of Aegean.
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).
Turkey's largest wine region on the western Anatolian coast (Izmir, Manisa, Denizli), ~53% of Turkish wine. Cal Karasi as a light, fresh red with signature notes of strawberry, tart cherry, pomegranate, flowers and a peppery touch, fine tannins — atypical eastern Mediterranean style. Kalecik Karasi rounder and silkier (cherry, raspberry). Sultaniye as a neutral white.
