We went to Hatten Wines cellar door in Sanur today and did a 6 course wine tasting with all Indonesian grown grapes/wines. Here is their website https://hattenwines.com as well as some info on them:
Our vineyards are dotted between the villages of Seririt and Sanggalangit on Bali’s picturesque northern coast. The rich volcanic soils are perfect for supporting our three growth cycles per year and the cooling ocean breezes help to mediate the hot and humid climate. It is here that we run the island’s most extensive viticultural research and development programme, and have conducted trials on more than 50 different international grape varieties. As well as managing our own vineyards, we work with a network of local farmers and now cultivate ten grape varieties, from Bali’s own Muscat St. Vallier to noble varieties like Syrah.We process 1000 tonnes of grapes per year all grown in our North Bali vineyards and vinified, matured and bottled at our state-of-the-art winery in Sanur, South Bali. Our approach blends modern winemaking practices with time-honoured French techniques to ensure consistency of style and quality from harvest to harvest. Our characterful yet elegant wines reflect Bali’s unique tropical terroir, and we are proud to be the island’s only producer of méthode-traditionnelle sparkling wines and solera-aged fortified wines.
They actually own and sell three brands here (Hatten, Two Islands and Dragonfly) and offer quite a variety of testing options….but we were very keen for the indo grown grape as part of our tasting- which is the Hatten brand wines. It was delicious! Highly recommend if you are a “wine person”. A grab from central Sanur for the 3km trek cost about $2.60 AUD.
As it was quite far south, we then enjoyed a snack at Jungle Tree Bar followed by dinner at Lilla Pantai and a cocktail at the tree bar (with some amazing country using in the Indonesian accent) on the 3ish km walk back.
We did also try to find Hidden Garden Bar which is so highly recommended for those quite far down south of Sanur but seems google maps is incorrect on their location…so no luck there.
