Nestled in the heart of Norfolk, Winbirri Vineyards is known for its pioneering spirit, particularly in the world of English wine. Founded by the charismatic Bill and Jean Sykes, this family-owned estate has been producing high-quality wines since 2007, making a name for themselves with cool-climate varieties such as Solaris. The estate is situated on the slopes of the beautiful Waveney Valley, a region renowned for its well-draining soil, sunny microclimate, and proximity to the North Sea, which moderates temperature extremes—ideal for growing the early-ripening Solaris grape.
The 2022 Solaris is a crisp, aromatic white with vibrant acidity and a distinctive minerality. On the nose, expect notes of citrus, green apple, and a subtle herbal lift. The palate is refreshing, with a zesty finish, tinged with green melon and white peach. It’s a wine that speaks of its terroir—light yet structured, with great balance.
Perfect with fresh seafood, goat's cheese, or a creamy risotto, this wine is an elegant companion to many summer dishes. It's a delightful example of the potential of English wine, offering something a little different for adventurous palates.
