This structured and vibrant wine comes from the fertile lands of Austria, specifically from the renowned Ploner winery, which has expressed excellence in the wine-growing region. Solaris is a white wine that captures attention with its brilliance and brightness in the glass, reflecting golden and green hues.

With an intense and nuanced aroma, Solaris offers an aromatic bouquet rich in fruity notes, among which aromas of ripe peach, citrus, and subtle hints of exotic fruit like mango stand out. The olfactory sensations are enriched by delicate floral hints and a light note of aromatic herbs, adding complexity.

In taste, the wine shows a balanced structure, supported by a lively freshness that pervades the palate. This liveliness is well integrated with a slight minerality that provides a pleasant persistence. The acidity is well balanced and contributes to the aromatic profile, facilitating a long and pleasing finish.

Ideal as an aperitif, Ploner's Solaris pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes, shellfish, and light vegetarian dishes. It is also a great companion for fresh appetizers and summer salads, where its fresh and fruity notes can really shine. This wine not only expresses the quality of the Austrian terroir but also offers a distinctive and memorable trace in every sip.

Experience the elegance of Ploner’s Solaris by sipping it in a relaxed setting, allowing each glass to reveal its delicate and sophisticated nuances. A wine to love and share, a testimony of pure Austrian winemaking talent.

Winery history
Plonerhof was born from the conversion of an old farmhouse into a vineyard, led by the Tutzer family. The first bottling trials date back to the 2010s, with production consolidating in the early years of the following decade. The estate combines the owners' vine-nursery expertise with direct vineyard management, developing over the years an identity focused on low yields, clonal selection and quality wines.
Production philosophy
Vineyards are cultivated with the utmost respect for the environment, employing minimal interventions and a strong emphasis on manual work; at the winery the focus is on careful grape handling and a calibrated aging regime that highlights varietal and terroir characteristics. The estate has also undertaken projects on resistant grape varieties and clonal selection.
Terroir and vineyards
Marlengo hill: sandy-clay soils with occurrences of granite, schist and gneiss; vineyards on the valley-facing slopes with steep gradients, which promote a marked diurnal temperature range and the aromatic ripening of the grapes.
Awards and recognitions
