Wine from Bali, grapes grown on the slopes of the hills.
In Bordeaux, the soil is gravel, limestone, and clay. Gravel soils of the Left Bank area are well-draining and keep the heat, helping to ripen the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
Limestone and clay soils of the Right Bank benefit Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varietiess as they provide moisture and cooler conditions.
I know nothing about the soil types in Bali, but the wine I tasted is surpringly good, so the soils must be good.
