Nirwana,
Fine Living Indonesia, June 2002, by Rachel Greaves. P.67-68 |

"In 1994, a French winemaker accepted a unique challenge: Vincent
Desplat was invited to join Bali's first and only true winery.
The goal was to produce an all-Balinese wine from locally grown
and harvested grapes. Although grapes had been cultivated in
the hot and arid northern coastal region of the island for several
decades, the art of winemaking had not been explored. Hatten
Wines, the new Balinese-owned company, with Vincent at the helm,
were therefore pioneers of the industry in Bali…."

Hello
Bali, July 2002. p.18 |

"Unlike typical winemaking regions where there is just one annual
harvest of the grapes, the sub-equatorial climate of Bali ensures
that the evergreen vines yield a new crop up to 2.5 times per
year. This means that the wine can be produced all the year
round, thereby enabling the winery to generate a record number
of vintages in very short time, proved by the fact that, last
year, Hatten Wines celebrated the 100th
vintage of their Rosé wine. This
exceptional achievement has come about because Vincent
Desplat has boldly gone ahead and literally redefined the
traditional rules and principals of winemaking. The quality
and volume of the production, using unconventional grapes in
the tropics, has astounded the experts…"

The Best possible things to do, see, taste, buy, wear) Best
Bali Wine of the Year, Christian Vannequé, p. 40
"The tropics are usually associated with the cultivation
of table grapes and not with those of wine-quality. However,
Hatten Wines has been disproving this belief with rosé, white
and red wines for over 7 years. Benefiting from a fortuitous
association with expert French national winemaker Vincent
Desplat, the newly released Tunjung
Sparkling White is an amazing discovery. Made in the traditional
Champagne method from the Belgia grapes of Northern Bali,
Tunjung Sparkling White is a pale
yellow straw color wine with a clean fruity nose and is dry,
well rounded, balanced and fresh, with a good and consistent
effervescence. Watch out non-vintage Champagnes! Tunjung
Sparkling White is winemaking history. Period." |
