Sweet dessert wine · botrytised Solaris · 50 cl
Silesian Botrytis Solaris is a sweet Polish dessert wine made from Solaris grapes touched by noble rot at just the right moment, concentrating their flavour and aroma. The label shows young Jaruś on a pitch-black pony, and the family say the wine is as sweet as he was. Selected for Central Wines by Master Sommelier Adam Michocki.
Tasting note
Intense mirabelle plum, pineapple, quince and candied peach. High sweetness is beautifully balanced by crisp acidity.
Sommelier's note · Adam Michocki MS
Super fragrant, with strong floral notes, honey, honeysuckle, orange marmalade and almond. The balance of acidity and sweetness lifts the intensity of the flavours. If this were Sauternes, you would pay three times as much for what is in the bottle.
Pair with
Roast duck, braised liver with apple, blue cheeses and desserts.

About Silesian
Winnica Silesian is a family vineyard in Lower Silesia, south-west Poland. It takes its name from the Silesian horse, the breed the family's grandfather raised at his stud, and its labels carry photographs of those horses and of the family. The vineyard is in conversion to organic farming, and its “Szato Bagno” series explores natural, low-intervention winemaking.
