STORY:
Sonnrain is one of the oldest labels on the winery. As early as the 2000s, Rudi was already bottling it in the early 2000s – back when Solaris and Muscaris weren’t even officially approved. Today, the grapes come from a single parcel right by the farm. A wine that tells the story of our beginnings and our path with PIWI varieties.

SHAPED BY THE MOMENT.
The Freedom collection stands for carefree enjoyment and the art of fully savoring the moment. It invites you to let go and be carried by the lightness of the moment.
Freedom awakens memories – of warm summer days in the garden, the hum of bees, the sound of laughter. A feeling of pure contentment.
A white cuvée that invites you to dream. Just say “Summ” and the mind wanders: bees buzzing, flowers blooming, the sun shining. A wine that captures the joy of the moment – vibrant, crisp, juicy, uplifting, and refreshing!
UNFOLD & BE.
The Soul collection brings together freedom and time – offering the space for a grape variety’s true character to unfold.
These wines are juicy, pure, and precise, defined by a deep inner balance that reveals itself with every bottle.
Juicy, pure, unadorned. A wine that doesn’t need a big stage to show what it can do. When given space, this variety reveals its true nature – clear, precise, and saline, with bright freshness and fine structure.
Clear, precise, expressive. A wine that reveals how purist Solaris can be – vibrant, dense, and mineral. On the nose: stone fruit and flint. On the palate: powerful and focused, with juicy tension.
A wine with tension. Clear and direct – no detours. Fresh herbs, minerality, and a salty finish. Not a show-off. A wine that remains when everything else has faded.
SPACE TO UNDERSTAND.
The Time collection gives us space – space to shape, observe, and understand. These wines invite reflection, open up room for interpretation, and allow special moments to be consciously experienced.
They are shaped by our experiences, years of acquired knowledge, and unwavering commitment to quality – felt in their depth, complexity, and the endless nuances waiting to be discovered.
A wine like the moment between day and night – warm, calm and vibrant. Freshness meets depth, juicy texture flows into velvety length. A wine that lingers.
Our story in a bottle. This wine reflects Rudi’s vision of cultivating biodiversity in the vineyards. Today, we reap the fruits of that work – shaped by the Gandberg that defines our terroir. Complex, vibrant, full of character.
Juicy, spicy, age-worthy. Old vines, selectively hand-harvested, fermented with skin contact. On the nose, ethereal spice and peppery freshness. On the palate, lively grip, fine tannin structure—juicy and appetite-stimulating. A wine that accompanies—and lingers.
A wine that isn’t made every year. Only when everything aligns – vintage, ripeness, character – do we bottle this Solaris. Powerful and rounded, with ripe apricot, nutty notes, and a smooth texture. Underpinned by vibrant mineral tension. S.ALT, from the oldest and very first Solaris vines planted in Italy.
