The world's most unlikely wine destination, Bali produces wine at sea level in a tropical island environment just 8° from the equator. Hatten Wines, established in 1994, pioneered 'new latitude' viticulture using a unique two-harvest-per-year system by manipulating vine growth cycles — harvesting in February and September to avoid the monsoon's worst humidity. The volcanic loam soils of northern Bali near Singaraja support Belgia and Muscat grapes, producing wines consumed primarily by Bali's millions of tourists.
