Details
The Solaris grape is a hardy and versatile white grape variety, celebrated for producing crisp, aromatic wines and offering excellent disease resistance and cold tolerance. Bred specifically for cooler climates, Solaris is the top grape planted in Scandinavia. This resilient grapevine thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 5-9, making it an excellent choice for regions with shorter growing seasons and high disease pressure, where early ripening is essential.

Training System
Top Wire Cordon (TWC) Download Top Wire Cordon PDF

Top Wire Cordon is arguably the most efficient training system for grapes, especially for procumbent or downward growing cultivators, especially those not prone to late season fruit rots due to shading of the fruiting zone. Summer labor is much less than that required with Vertical Shoot Positioned (VSP) training as shoot positioning and leaf pulling are generally not required. Learn More
