Winnica Novi Solaris 2025

Winnica NOVI is a small Polish estate established in 2018 beside Palac Cianowice, on the limestone hills of the Kraków-Czestochowa Upland, around 20km north of Kraków. Covering just over three hectares at approximately 410 metres above sea level, the vineyard benefits from the region’s cooler conditions and limestone-rich soils, which help preserve freshness in the wines. The estate focuses on grape varieties suited to Poland’s climate, including Solaris, an early-ripening variety particularly well adapted to cooler growing regions.

Made entirely from Solaris, the 2025 is a dry white with a generous, rounded style while retaining plenty of freshness. Ripe pear, yellow apple, peach and apricot lead the aromas, joined by citrus, delicate floral notes and a touch of honey. The palate is smooth and fruit-driven, with refreshing acidity and a distinctly mineral finish reflecting the limestone soils of the Jura. With good texture and a little more weight than a particularly light white, it works beautifully with grilled fish, shellfish, roast poultry, creamy sauces and mild cheeses.
