Maotai Town, renhuai city, Guizhou Province, is a world-famous gold producing area of liquor, which has witnessed prosperity and brilliance, and the long-standing Maotai-flavor liquor originated from it.
Luzhou-flavor and high-quality Maotai-flavor wine comes from Maotai Town, where the valley is full of ecstasy. The purple calcareous soil in Maotai Town is unique and has good water permeability, which provides a unique brewing environment for Daqu Maotai-flavor wine. It is warm in winter and hot in summer, with little rainfall, which is most suitable for the production and reproduction of brewing microorganisms. The annual precipitation is 800- 1000mm, with sufficient sunshine; Chishui river, known as the wine river, has excellent water quality; Moderate temperature all year round and high temperature in summer are very suitable for countless microorganisms floating in the air ... The mellow flavor of Maotai Town is closely related to it.
The raw materials of Maotai-flavor liquor, sorghum and wheat, are both produced in Chishui River Basin, where sorghum is small in grain, thick in skin, flat and firm, dry and resistant to boiling, steaming and stirring. Wheat grains are full and even, free from moth and mildew, with deep abdominal furrows and powdery appearance. Just before Duanyang stepped on the market, the new wheat matured and everything was so natural. The time difference between the two feedings is consistent with the maturity time of sorghum in the valley and hill of Chishui River Basin. Everything is made in heaven and integrated into one.
Another major feature of Maotai-flavor liquor is that empty cups leave fragrance, and high-quality Maotai-flavor liquor is the ultimate. An empty cup full of maotai liquor won't be fragrant for half a month.
