So, what is the quality of Huaixian old wine? Today, the author will lead you to take an in-depth understanding of soy sauce wine, as well as this high-profile Huaixian old wine.
Moutai Town, a place rich in good wine. 90% of China's top soy sauce wine is produced in Guizhou, and Moutai Town is the core brewing area. In this land of only 7.5 square kilometers, Moutai with a long history and excellent quality was born. In addition, there are thousands of soy sauce brewing enterprises in the town, which play an important role.
The reason why Moutai Town can brew such a high-quality soy sauce wine is due to its unique geographical and climatic conditions and water sources. These factors provide an ideal growth environment for the microorganisms required for the brewing of soy sauce wine. What's more worth mentioning is that it also has the unique red tassel sorghum in the country as a brewing raw material.
Sauce-flavored liquor is mainly brewed with a single sorghum as raw material, so the quality of sorghum plays a decisive role in the quality of the liquor. The unique red tassel sorghum in Renhuai City, where Moutai Town is located, and its surrounding areas are extremely high in amylopectin and rich in tannins, which are the key to brewing soy sauce wine and bringing out the flavor.
In addition, the brewing process of soy sauce is quite complex and requires multiple steaming. The red tassel sorghum produced by Renhuai has thick skin, small grains, and hard grains, and can withstand repeated high-temperature cooking.
The superiority of raw materials and the advantages of geographical location make Moutai Town have unique conditions in the brewing of soy sauce wine. Huaixian Old Liquor is located in the core production area of Moutai Town, and its brewing process is the same as Moutai's, using only local red tassel sorghum as raw materials, which undoubtedly lays a solid foundation for its quality.
