What is solaris grape?

Solaris grape is a white grape variety that was created in 1975 by Vitis breeding expert Dr. Vilmos Kőszegi at the University of Pécs in Hungary. It is a hybrid of the grape varieties Bouvier and Zefir. Solaris grape is known for its high resistance to fungal diseases and pests, making it a popular choice in organic vineyards. It is grown primarily in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly in Hungary, Germany, and Poland. Solaris grape produces wines that are light in color and have a fresh, fruity flavor with hints of citrus and tropical fruits. The wine is best consumed young and is often used for blending with other white grape varieties.
