Solaris was bred in Germany in 1975 as a cross between Merzling and Gm 6493. It is one of the most widely planted white varieties in the UK and across Europe. As its name suggests, it can soak up large amounts of light to ripen quickly. As a wine grape it is versatile and can produce deeply textured whites with notes of banana, pineapple and elderflower.
