Estonian White Wine Solaris 2020

White wine Solaris 2020
Solaris is a well-balanced, fruity white grape wine with a spring-flower aroma and a full-bodied taste. Excellent with seafood, fresh salads and cheeses.

The Tori vineyard is one of the northernmost in the world, at 58.5° north – traditional vineyards lie between 30° and 50°. For these warm-climate plants to survive and bear fruit in our climate, the vineyard needs as much care as raising small children: “combing their hair” with summer pruning and thinning, “braiding” by tying the vines to supports, “washing” by mowing and cleaning to keep diseases away, and “tucking them in” – the vines are sensitive to temperature swings in spring and winter, so we cover the whole vineyard with fabric for the winter. When all this work is done on time and the weather is kind, we happily harvest in the first or second week of October, when the grapes reach about 22 Brix – ideal for a quality dry, aromatic wine.

The advantage of Nordic viticulture: the vines can be grown fully organically, without chemical treatments.
