Ask about the history of this wine
In 1982
The "small-mouth pointed urn" excavated by the archaeological team here
Will be the history of winemaking in apricot blossom village
Pushed back to more than 6,000 years ago
Nowadays, there are many varieties of wine
However, the jianghu status of Fenjiu is unshakable
A thousand years ago, the late Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu toured Shanxi via the Fenhe River, and a sentence "Ask where the restaurant is, the shepherd boy remotely refers to the apricot blossom village", has already pushed the fenjiu of the apricot blossom village from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. The much-sought after Xinghuacun Fenjiu brewing process is also extremely exquisite. Time flies, although the old workshop of winemaking has gone through vicissitudes and several degrees of glory, it has always been rooted in this and has never changed.
Nowadays, winemaking still depends on the efforts of the masters
There are craftsmen in the old workshop of Xinghua Village
Use your own handiwork
Turning grain into a magical liquid
Ren Quanming, the inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Fenjiu: "My winemaking technology was learned from my father, and I am passing on my winemaking technology to my son, and our winemaking technology here follows the ancient law, and the winemaking technology will not change for 30 years or 300 years." ”
From the original to the present, the taste of Fenjiu has not changed
The key step must be to continue the wisdom of the ancients
If you want to make good wine, the raw materials must be "excellent students"

The aroma of wine has drifted through thousands of years and is still rich
Its essence is the wine song in Master Ren's hand
It can shorten the time of winemaking
As a representative of fragrant sake
The production of fenjiu's sake song also follows the ancient secret recipe of thousands of years
Although the music is made in a seemingly inconspicuous bungalow, there is a core secret of the music making here. The qu billet enters the qu room, and the production of the big song has quietly begun. There are standard rules for the placement of curved blanks in the curved room, and this process is the same as that of the ancestors, completely manual. After more than a thousand years of selection, elimination, optimization and reproduction, hundreds of microorganisms have settled here, which has also formed a microbial system that cannot be stolen and removed.
There are at least 2,000 pieces of curved blanks in a curved room, which need to be turned over once every 2 days, in order to let microorganisms attach to all aspects of the curved blanks and do simple things to the extreme, which is one of the spiritual wealth left to us by the ancients. This can also keep Fenjiu of consistently high quality.
Anyone who has drunk fenjiu knows it
Yiqing is a major feature of Fenjiu
This has a lot to do with the efforts to be clean in every process
At present, there are only apricot blossom villages in the country, or follow the old method of tank fermentation, it is impossible to verify when the origin of the ground tank fermentation, but in the old winery of the apricot blossom village "Yiquan Yong", the figure of the ground tank fermentation can be seen everywhere, and this process has been adopted more than a hundred years ago.
