The land of Hanxing, Yongcheng, Henan, is the birthplace of Huanggou Liquor, the founder of Fuhexiang Liquor in China.
As the representative of Henan Yujiu, the master of Han Dynasty culture, the famous Huanggou liquor, is not only the noble status of the royal liquor, the long and profound historical heritage, the excellent and extraordinary ingenuity quality, but also the intentional arrangement of the Creator, so that she created a unique Fuhexiang gene in the winemaking treasure land set up by the heavens and the earth, under the guidance of the wisdom of the wine industry, thus becoming the pioneer of authentic Fuhexiang liquor, and establishing a new height of Yujiu in the Chinese liquor industry.
The land of leisurely Hanxing, the city of China's eternal "wine"
Behind every bottle of fine wine is a thick feng shui treasure land with a long cultural history.
Yongcheng City, where Huanggou Liquor is located, lives in the hinterland of the Huanghuai Plain, the center of Yulu Suwan, the north of the Zhizhan Mountain, the south ring of Shuishui, the east of Huaixu, the west of Liang and Song, since ancient times is a strategic place in and out of the Central Plains, but also a cultural city with a history of more than 4,000 years, known as the "Pearl of Eastern Henan".
Located in the plains, rivers and rivers, the fertile wilderness of Yongcheng, is a veritable land of heavenly treasures, quite the care of nature and the favor of history, for thousands of years, repeatedly by the Huanghuai floods but not broken, through war and chaos and soldiers without destruction, so it was named Yongcheng, meaning yonggu city, eternal city.
In the last year of the Qin Dynasty, Han Gaozu's ancestor Liu Bang rebelled against snakes at Yongcheng Mangzhong Mountain, creating a four-hundred-year-old Han hegemony, China's first prosperous and powerful dynasty, thus slowly rising in the "land of Hanxing" - Yongcheng; Xiao He, the great Han Chancellor, formulated the Han law in Yongcheng, known as the Sect of Laws, and the ruins of the Law-making Platform left behind have also become the historical witness of the source of China's rule of law culture.
Not only is it the world-famous Yonggu City and the land of Hanxing, Yongcheng is also the city of China's Yong "wine" and the hometown of fine wine.
The history of winemaking in Yongcheng can be traced back to the Yongshan culture period of more than 4,000 years ago, and the black pottery used for winemaking, storage and drinking excavated here proves that the brewing technology of Yongcheng at that time has reached a very high level.
Liu Bang jianhan was proclaimed empress dowager, and remembering the place of origin, he invited the heroes with a banquet of fine wine from Yongcheng, and sang "I am the emperor of the Han state, and I give this wine xi surname emperor" to the emperor. Since then, Yongcheng Fine Wine has an imperial surname, and Huanggou Wine has also become the wine of the Emperor of the Han Palace.
During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Zhang of Yongcheng assisted Emperor Renzong, Emperor Xuanzong, and Emperor Yingzong of the Three Dynasties, and The Jingtai of Hainei. Because he remembered the fine wine of his hometown Huanggou, he sent someone to supervise the manufacture, and selected a good wine for the royal court, and Emperor Renzong was very pleased after drinking it, and gave him the name "Huanggou Imperial Wine".
Huanggou Royal Wine is known as the World, the place of origin of the wine mills, the heyday of the built six high-rise buildings, so also named "Lulou Wine", which is also the predecessor of the Huanggou Liquor Group. In the old factory area of Huanggou Liquor Industry, there are still 13 living cellar ponds of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which are known as living fossils of liquor brewing.
The Eternal City, the Land of Hanxing, the Huanggou Imperial Wine, the Lulou Winery... are like clear historical symbols and vivid marks of time, corroborating each other and reflecting each other, so that China's only fine wine with the name of "Emperor" has been passed down to the present day along the vein of the times.
At the beginning of 2021, Huanggou Wine Industry grandly launched a high-end new product - Huanggou Guoyong Fu hexiang, taken from the chinese Yongcheng, the chinese Yongjiu meaning of the word "Guoyong", which is a tribute and gift to this eternal city and the city of Yong "wine".
Ecological production area, the best winemaking place in Huanggou
One side nourishes the other side of the people, and also brews a good wine. Located in the center of Huanghuai geographical coordinates and the core of the Huanghuai famous wine belt, Yongcheng, with a warm climate and abundant materials, is not only the energy capital, flour city, ecological city and longevity town of China, but also provides a unique natural environment and irreproducible resource endowment for the brewing of Huanggou wine.
The parallel valleys of the Tuo and Xun rivers of the Yellow River's hometown have created a green ecological system of Yongcheng's "two lakes, four belts, one wetland, one mountain, nine rivers and seven corridors", above the plain, mountains, rivers and lakes, and the city of mountains and rivers and lakes are integrated. The natural conditions of four distinct seasons, abundant sunshine, abundant rainfall and dense vegetation have bred sweet and delicious natural magnetized selenium-rich water and fertile silt soil, making it the most famous high-quality wheat and corn producing area in China.
The excellent environment, top water source and rich grain production have created superior innate conditions for Huanggou Wine to brew good wine, and have also become the irreplaceable quality genes of Huanggou Wine.
At present, in Yongcheng, Huanggou Wine has two major production bases, namely the old factory area, which was founded in 1958 and the Huanggou Guoyongfu and Xiangjiu Cultural Estate, which was officially built in 2018, both located in the selenium-rich geological core area and natural magnetized water source. Among them, located in the old factory area on the west side of Riyue Lake, more than 120 kinds of trees and flowers have been planted, with a greening rate of up to 68% and four layers of high-bottom vegetation cover, forming a small basin of oxygen-rich ecology that cannot be copied; the new factory area covering an area of more than 2,600 acres is a garden-style liquor manor that Huanggou Liquor Industry has invested 1.6 billion yuan and ingeniously created a garden-style liquor estate that integrates wisdom brewing, ecological storage, intelligent production, and cultural tourism experience.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the two major factories of Huanggou Wine Are surrounded by endless wheat fields, which is idyllic. The wind blows a thousand waves of wheat ears, full of golden thyme, and the green factory area is integrated with the yellow wheat field, which is not only a historical reproduction of the origin of Chinese liquor from agricultural civilization, but also outlines the most beautiful picture of ecological winemaking and natural winemaking.
"In March, the breeze and wheat waves are born, and the evening waves on the banks of the Yellow River are flat; the village is full of weeping willows, all the way to Yongcheng." This is a poem written by the famous poet Li Xianfang of the Ming Dynasty after visiting Yongcheng, and it is still a true portrayal of the Huanggou production area.
From the environment of the production area to the beautiful scenery of the factory area, and then to the harmonious symbiosis of the microbial population of the cellar pond in the Ming Dynasty, a triple ecological barrier is formed from the outside in, from high to low, making Huanggou Wine a veritable good wine production area.
Taidou pioneered, Chinese liquor authentic and fragrant
If a water source, two seasons of good grain, and three layers of ecology are the advantages of Huanggou liquor industry talent, then the five grains are gathered together, the four spices are integrated, and the Fuhexiang created by the Chinese liquor master Yuqiao is Huanggou's ultimately focused efforts to rewrite the history of China's liquor category innovation and create a new era of Huanggou Fuhexiang.
The establishment of Huanggou Fuhexiang Liquor dates back to 2000, after Master Yu Qiao served as the technical general consultant of Huanggou Liquor Industry, he preached the secret method of multi-grain and multi-qu winemaking, and selflessly dedicated his valuable experience in the study of Chinese liquor to Huanggou.
Under the theoretical guidance and careful teaching of Master Yuqiao, Huanggou Liquor has become a special research and development team with the participation of a number of national liquor judges and senior winemaking technicians, peixiang mud, lifu cellar, breeding qu species, making fuqu, integrating brewing technology, innovative wine storage and blending, after more than ten years of repeated practice, creating a new process of liquor brewed in multiple curves and grains, and finally becoming a new liquor flavor type of "one cellar brewing four spices, natural; one taste four spices, natural coordination". Master Yu Qiao called it "Huanggou Fuhexiang" and sighed: "Only the water and soil of Yongcheng and the intentions of Huanggou people can brew this Fuhexiang liquor that 'covers the thick sauce and highlights the sesame aroma'." ”
Huanggou Fuhexiang Liquor, which integrates the four spices of "sauce head, thick body, clear rhyme and Zhiwei", was successfully listed in 2012, which not only won the unanimous praise of Chinese liquor masters such as Shen Yifang, Liang Bangchang, Hu Yongsong, Wu Jianfeng, Wu Xiaoping, etc., but also won the praise and pursuit of consumers, becoming the brightest new star of Chinese liquor in one fell swoop.
On May 17, 2021, at the Huanggou Guoyong fu hexiang liquor expert appraisal meeting, Song Shuyu, chairman of the China Liquor Industry Association, Gao Jingyan, Ji Keliang, Liang Bangchang, famous liquor experts, Xu Yan, vice president of Jiangnan University, and 12 other experts, after discussion and evaluation, unanimously determined that "the 53rd degree Guoyong Fu Hexiang liquor is clear and transparent, the aroma is rich and elegant, mellow and sweet, the flavors are coordinated, the wine body is plump, the empty cup remains fragrant, and the style is unique."
Natural brewing, a cellar generation; a mouthful of four spices, six years of rich storage, which is the first Fuhexiang created by Huanggou, is also the most authentic Fuhexiang of Chinese liquor, its characteristic, personalized, refined style positioning and high-end, scarce, noble category value, giving Chinese liquor a higher level of existence and appreciation of the artistic conception, but also greatly meet the consumer's pursuit of characteristic good wine, good quality wine.
What can represent a city? It can be an immortal inheritance of history and culture, or it can be a scenic spot such as mountains and rivers. Huanggou, which was born in the land of Yongcheng, has witnessed the evolution of history, inherited the legacy of the Han Dynasty, and made the best mountains, the best water, and the best grain into the best wine, so that everyone who has drunk Huanggou wine can feel the magical charm of this land.
What can represent an incense? It can be delicious dishes, spices and flowers, or it can be a unique wine. For thousands of years, countless fine wines and a variety of aromas have been born on the land of China, but only Huanggou can integrate natural landscapes, ecological environment and innovative wisdom according to local conditions so cleverly and perfectly, creating a unique flavor of Huanggou Fuhexiang, so that this "born with special fragrance" good wine has become a milestone in the quality upgrading and category innovation of Chinese liquor.
The royal seal of fine wine, full of incense intoxicating the Central Plains. What awaits Huanggou in the future is more infinite possibilities.
