Solaris

A hybrid of Merzling and Geisenheim 6493 created in 1975 at Freiburg in Baden-Württemberg (D) and authorised in 2004, Solaris was named in reference to the sun, symbolising its vigour and precocity. In Switzerland, this variety, resistant to fungal disease, is cultivated particularly by wine growers concerned about the environment, because it doesn't need a lot of processing.
