Vína
Indie a Indonésie |
| |
Baker´s Curry Symposium, po_ádané Helenou
a Johnem Bakerov_mi v Chodouni dne 6.zá_í, bylo
jedine_nou p_íle_itostí ochutnat vína vzdálené
Indie a Indonésie. Nemén_ exotické bylo
menu s nabídkou Onion Bhaji _i Pakoras (skv_le dopl_ující
r__ové „plá_ové“ víno
z ostrova Bali Hatten Wines Rosé), indické Ran
Masaledar (k_zle_í k_ta s jogurtov_m curry) a Tandoori
Murghi (ku_e tandoori), perské Shami Korma (vep_ové
na smetan_ s mandlemi), korejské Hobak Namul (cuketa
se sezamem ve woku) nebo Sala Lobak (zelí a kápie
ve woku) ze Sumatry a dal_ích lah_dek. P_ílohou
byla Basmati (Pakistán) a Jasmin (Thajsko) r__e, Tie
Ke Aloo (brambory se sezamov_m semínkem), Kheere Ka Raita
(indická jogurtová omá_ka). A indická
vína ? Réva vinná roste v Indii odedávna.
Rozvoj vina_ství nastal v 19.století za vlády
britského impéria. Na p_elomu století v_ak
indické vinohrady zdecimovala m_i_ka révokaz.
Teprve koncem 20.století se na sv_tov_ch trzích
objevila _umivá vína z Indie. Dnes produkuje Chateau
Indage, sídlící v Sahayadra Valley, tichá
i _umivá vína sv_tov_ch (nap_. Chardonnay, Sauvignon,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir) i domácích odr_d
(Arkesham, Arkakanchan, Arkavati, Bangalore Purple). Mezi pokusn_mi
v_sadbami nalezneme Muller-Thurgau, Kerner, Dornfelder a dokonce
Frankovku _i Modr_ Portugal ! Vinice se rozkládají
na vápencov_ch p_dách v oblasti ro_ních
srá_ek 500-700 mm a nadmo_ské v__ce 700–800
metr_. Tropické klíma umo__uje dv_ vinobraní
za rok, sklize_ je ru_ní a vzhledem k vysok_m denním
teplotám, blí_ícím se 40 C, probíhá
v brzk_ch ranních hodinách. Sklepmist_i usilují
o pomalou fermentaci za nízk_ch teplot a stabilizaci
vína chladem. Ochutnaná vína (bílé
Tantra Arkavati 2003, r__ové Tantra Baramati Blush 2003
a _ervené Soma Reserva) byla adekvátním
doprovodem asijsk_ch specialit, av_ak p_i samostatné
degustaci p_íli_ neobstála. Nejlépe hodnoceno
bylo v úvodu zmín_né indonéské
víno domorodé odr_dy Alphonse-Lavallée.
Vinohradníci na severu Bali pou_ívají vysoké
vedení révy na pergolách a stále
plodící vinice poskytují neuv__iteln_ch
100 limitovan_ch sklizní jediného vinohradu v
pr_b_hu 7 let ! _etrné lisování hrozn_,
p_ísn_ _ízené kva_ení v ocelov_ch
tancích, pou_ití u_lechtil_ch kultur kvasinek,
dovezen_ch ze Champagne. To v_e pod dohledem zku_eného
francouzského vina_e Vincenta Desplata vede k oblib_
indonésk_ch vín nejen mezi turisty, ale i k prv_m
úsp_ch_m v mezinárodních kláních.
R__ové Hatten Wines Rosé bylo finalistou Portugal
Winemasters Competition 2003, _ervené Hatten Wines AGA

London
Wine & Spirits International Grants Alexandria a Bronze
Medal - May 2003 |
| |
Hatten Wines is proud to announce its Alexandria
semi-sweet Muscat has won a Bronze Medal at the London Wine
& Spirits International Competition. The Competition was
held in May 2003, during the London Wine Exhibition. Along with
the launching of its wines in the U.K. under the wings of Bali
Unkorked, sole distributor of Hatten Wines for the U.K.
and Hefaco b.v. its European Distributor, the Balinese winery
has seen Alexandria awarded one of the
most prestigious International wine competition’s Medal.
A great moment for Bali.
The
International Wine & Spirits competition has been held
yearly since 1969 and is attended by the most commended houses
in the Wine & Spirits industry. Renowned for its rigorous
judging, the competition uses technical analysis and blind tasting
methods to award points to the entrants. Each tasting category
is judged by a panel of experts with particular knowledge in
the area and style that is being tasted. On a 100-point scale,
the wines are judged by their appearance (clarity & color),
nose (typicity, intensity, cleanliness and maturity), palate
(balance, intensity and length) and overall balance.

From
the Competition’s Committee
(text from the IWSC website: www.iwsc.net)
Entries are judged in categories and are divided into
further groups by variety, region and vintage as necessary.
Unlike some competitions, the
International Wine & Spirits competition restricts
the number of winners each year to one Gold, one Silver
and one Bronze in each tasting category - thereby ensuring
the quality and prestige of each winner.
The
International Wine & Spirits competition was founded
in 1969 and is the premier competition of its kind in
the world. Its aim is to promote the quality and excellence
of the world’s best wines, spirits and liqueurs.
This standard is achieved through a rigorous two-stage
judging process of professional blind tasting and detailed
technical (chemical and microbiological) analysis that
takes place at The Competition’s headquarters in
Surrey, UK. To ensure perfect conditions, the premises
include temperature-controlled cellars, a fully equipped
independent laboratory for technical analysis, and two
dedicated tasting rooms. In 2003 The Competition received
approximately 5,000 entries from over 50 countries. |

Other winners
For the 2003 competition, Hatten Wines finds itself amongst
some of the biggest names of the Industry, winners of Gold,
Silver and Bronze medals: Penfolds, Houghton, Rosemount, Pepper
Tree, Lindeman’s, Jacob’s Creek, Inniskilin, Beringer
Blass, Ernest & Julio Gallo, GH Mumm & Cie, Barton &
Guestier, and in the same category, Asti and Ice Wines from
Canada and Germany.
Alexandria
A lovely white wine, Alexandria is made
from the Belgia grapes grown in Hatten Wines’ own vineyards.
The grapes, ripe and sugar-filled, are processed to bring the
very fruity and perfumed grape flavour to its delightful taste.
Sweet wines are always appreciated as some of the most complex
and impressive flavours and aromas in the wine world. This medium-sweet
white wine is very aromatic with grapey characters and lovely
floral perfumes. The fruity palate is well balanced between
sweetness and acid, leaving a refreshing aftertaste. Alexandria
takes its name from the Muscat of Alexandria
grape variety, a close cousin of the Belgia grapes.
Hatten Wines and this achievement
Being one of two wineries having achieved a medal win for its
first application to this prestigious International Competition
since its beginnings in 1969, Hatten Wines is extremely proud
of its medal for Alexandria. Winemaker
Vincent Desplat and Owner IB Rai Budarsa have not said their
last word on the International scene. Having seen their Rosé
achieve the stage of Finalist in a Portuguese Competition in
May of this year (www.winemasters.pt)
amongst Portuguese and Spanish Rosés, and now with this
Bronze Medal in London, the pair have not only embarked on development
of export markets but entries in other International competitions
are to be expected in the future.
Export to Europe has started late 2002 and projects for other
markets are on the way for 2003 and 2004.
The little kid from Bali, made it to the big leagues… |
