“…Despite its obvious agronomic interest, little information is available describing the aromatic potential using different winemaking techniques [13][14][15] or studies describing the Solaris sensory space [16][17][18]. For example, in Denmark, a study found Solaris wines with two different aroma profiles [18]; the first group of wines was described with floral and fruity flavors ("peach/apricot", "Muscat", "melon", "banana" and "strawberry"), whereas the second group was associated with less pleasant flavors, such as "chemical", "wood" and "rooibos/smoke" [18].…”

The Swedish wine industry has exponentially grown in the last decade. However, Swedish wines remain largely unknown internationally. In this study, the typicality and sensory space of a set of twelve wines, including five Swedish Solaris wines, was evaluated blind by Swedish wine experts. The aim of the work was to evaluate whether the Swedish wine experts have a common concept of what a typical Solaris wines should smell and taste like or not and, also, to bring out more information about the sensory space and chemical composition of Solaris wines. The results showed a lack of agreement among the wine experts regarding the typicality of Solaris wines. This, together with the results from the sensory evaluation, could suggest the possibility of different wine styles for Solaris wines. From a chemical perspective, the global volatile profile showed a larger variability between individual wines than between Solaris and non-Solaris. However, 4MMP, ethyl propionate, ethyl 2-Methyl propanoate, and diethyl succinate were significantly higher in Solaris wines. Concerning non-volatile compounds, the results showed a significant discrimination between Solaris and non-Solaris wines, the former being characterized by higher ethanol %, Mg, succinic acid, tartaric acid, and sucrose levels.

“…A subsequent Pivot© Profile showed that Solaris wines were globally less viscous, sweeter, more vegetal, and more floral than Chardonnay, and less aromatic and fruity and more acidic and vegetal than Sauvignon Blanc. Finally, a study evaluating the sensory profile of Swedish Solaris described the wines with citrus and floral aromas [16].…”

“…Solaris is an early-ripening grape with good resistance against fungal diseases and to frost [6][7][8]. Due to its good sensory qualities [9][10][11][12] and its adaptation to a short season, it is increasingly grown in northern European countries with marginal climate for winemaking, such as Belgium, the Netherlands, England, Poland, Sweden, and Denmark [3,13]. But it also finds its way to the cooler areas in the Alp region [14,15].…”

Effects of Water Stress, Defoliation and Crop Thinning on Vitis vinifera L. cv. Solaris: Part I: Plant Responses, Fruit Development and Fruit Quality

et al. 2022

Viticultural practices and irrigation have a major impact on fruit development and yield, and ultimately on must quality. The effects of water deficit (WD), defoliation (Def), and crop-thinning (CT) on Solaris plants and fruit development, as well as on the chemical composition of grape juice were investigated. WD was induced at three periods during fruit development (pre-veraison, veraison, and ripening) in pot-grown plants, while Def and CT were carried out on field-grown plants. Environmental and vegetative parameters were monitored during the experiments. The bulk chemical composition of the fruits was determined in juice by Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy throughout fruit ripening and at final harvest. The results showed that WD reduced soil water content and leaf water status. CT significantly reduced yield per vine, but increased cluster size. Mid to late WD reduced soluble solids by 1%. CT increased sugar content in juice, while Def decreased sugar accumulation. Total acids were higher in the juice from the field vines. Yet, CT lowered malic and tartaric acids. Def increased tartaric acid. Ammonia and alpha amino nitrogen were higher in the juice from pot-grown vines, while pH was lowered by Def and raised by CT. It is concluded that Solaris has a remarkable ability to tolerate and recover from WD. CT and Def significantly affected the bulk chemical composition of grapes in terms of total acidity and sugar accumulation, with CT grapes having the highest sugar content and the lowest total acidity and Def the opposite.

“…A study revealed that 'Zilga', crossbred in Latvia by Paul Sukatnieks, has acclimatized to Finnish growing conditions producing a soluble solids content of an average of 19 °Brix at harvest (Karvonen 2014b). In Sweden, mapping a sensor system for the Nordic Light Terroir character of wine has been developed in relation to climate change but retaining its fresh acidic/citrus nature (Nordmark et al 2016). In Nordic countries, longer sunshine hours during the growing season can compensate for the shorter growing season and cooler summer.…”

The aim of this research was to determine the effect of vineyard location and cultivation system (polytunnel compared to field) on hybrid grapevine berry quality in cold climate conditions. The study was conducted with the hybrid grapevine cultivars ‘Hasanski Sladki’, ‘Zilga’ and ‘Supaga’. Experimental vineyards were located at different sites in a polytunnel and in the field. Soluble solids content ranged from 13.8 to 25.4 °Brix. For all cultivars cultivation in the tunnel had a positive effect on soluble solids content for two experimental years out of three. Acid content was high, ranging from 1.04 to 1.76 g 100 g-1 FW. Growing ‘Zilga’ and ‘Supaga’ in the tunnel reduced titratable acid content every year but for ‘Hasanski Sladki’ in two years. Phenolic content ranged from 53 to 540 g 100 g-1 FW and anthocyanin from 30 to 162 mg 100 g-1 FW. Accumulation of phenols and anthocyanins were affected by location and cultivation methods. For ‘Hasanski Sladki’ in the tunnel, cultivation had a positive effect on phenolic content but for ‘Zilga’ not in every year.
