Solaris is a modern white grape variety bred in Germany in the 1970s, created specifically for cool climates and valued for its disease resistance and reliability. In the UK, it has become one of the most successful grapes for both still and sparkling wines, thriving in vineyards across England and Wales.
As a sparkling wine, Solaris produces a style that is crisp, fresh, and aromatic, with vibrant flavours of ripe peach, apricot, pineapple, and citrus zest. Its naturally high sugar levels allow winemakers to achieve excellent balance, while its lively acidity keeps the wines refreshing and food-friendly. Depending on ageing, some cuvées also develop hints of honey, nuts, or brioche for added depth.
For UK drinkers, Sparkling Solaris is an exciting homegrown alternative to traditional sparkling varieties. It pairs beautifully with seafood, smoked salmon, creamy pastas, chicken dishes, and goat’s cheese, making it both celebratory and versatile.
