Llaethlliws' Solaris white wine is a clear pale yellow colour, thi wine looks like summer in a glass. On the nose it has fresh green apple aromas coupled with scents of goosberry, stone fruits and meadow grass. This is followed up on the palate with refreshing flavours of crisp green apple and ripe nectarine. The wine has a nice mineral aspect that is pursued by a generous citrus adicity. It is perfect on it's own over a long lunch although it would also sit well with seafood and light chicken dishes.
