Buy Solaris wine – aromatic diversity with AOC Lucerne origin
A portrait of the Solaris grape variety
Solaris is a modern, fungus-resistant grape variety that is becoming increasingly popular in Swiss viticulture. This cross between Merzling, Gm 6493 and Muscat Ottonel was created from the desire to produce a robust variety with fruity aromas and good acidity.
The grape variety usually produces early-ripening grapes with a high sugar content, making it particularly suitable for cooler locations such as the AOC Lucerne. Its golden yellow colour and delicate fruity aroma, in which the fruit stands out as the central element of the bouquet, make Solaris white wine a highly appreciated product.
AOC Lucerne growing region and climatic influences
Solaris grapes find ideal conditions in the AOC Lucerne region. The combination of a cool climate and plenty of sunlight promotes slow but intense ripening. This results in wines with balanced acidity and good alcohol content. Solaris wine from the AOC Lucerne region has a balanced alcohol content, which contributes significantly to its high quality.
The grape variety is resistant to fungal diseases, allowing for reduced use of pesticides. This not only has a positive effect on the environment, but also on the quality in the glass.
Colour, taste and sensory characteristics
Solaris wines are usually light gold in colour with slight green tones. The nose reveals notes of exotic fruits, citrus, honey and sometimes a hint of nutmeg.
Depending on the vintage, the palate reveals hints of apple, ripe pear or even tropical mango. The acidity remains present but is harmoniously integrated. The finish is round, fruity and pleasantly soft.
Solaris and food – versatile combinations
Thanks to its aromatic diversity, Solaris white wine is suitable for a wide range of culinary combinations. It goes particularly well with:
- Soft cheeses such as Camembert or Brie
- Fish dishes such as trout, perch or salmon
- Poultry with fruit or light sauces
- Lightly spiced vegetarian dishes
Solaris is also at its best as an aperitif wine, especially when served well chilled.
