It is understood that Ji 'an is known as "the south of the Great Wall" and is very suitable for the growth of wild grapes. Wild grapes have been planted for 40 years, and it is a famous "hometown of wild grapes in China". The planting area of wild grapes in the city is 2 1 1,000 mu, with an annual output of about 20,000 tons. It is one of the main raw material bases in tonghua wine. Ji 'an has also won the title of "National Green Food Raw Material (Vitis amurensis) Standardized Production Base" and is "National Vitis amurensis Standardized Comprehensive Demonstration Zone".
Ji 'an Yalu River Basin has unique climatic conditions, and it is the region with the highest accumulated temperature, the lowest wind speed, the highest humidity and the longest frost-free period in Jilin Province. The annual accumulated temperature reaches 3208℃, and the frost-free period reaches 150- 170 days. There is abundant precipitation in the growing season, abundant sunshine in the mature season, large temperature difference, good soil permeability and rich minerals, which is very suitable for the growth of Vitis amurensis.
So we went to Tonghua and Ji 'an without visiting the local vineyards and wineries. It must be an incomplete trip, because traveling is not only to get the natural landscape, but also to understand the local culture, and wine is undoubtedly one of the most important cultural business cards in Tonghua and Ji 'an. So when we drove to an amazing vineyard, we stopped and decided to look at this local pillar industry. I didn't know it was a combination of agriculture and tourism until I came down.
Yajianggu winery is very beautiful and was once rated as one of the top ten boutique wineries in China. The winery is produced on 20 12, mainly for brewing ice wine. In fact, there are many ice wines in our country that are not in the true sense, but their family makes pure ice wine. The Yalu River Basin in Ji 'an starts from Shihu Village in Qingshi Town in the east and ends at Gumaling Village in Luda Town in the west, with a total length of more than 200 kilometers, a basin area of 1736 square kilometers and a cultivated land area of 68,000 mu. The land area suitable for planting wild grapes is about 40,000 mu, the existing wild grapes are 2 1 10,000 mu, and the annual output of fresh grapes is about 20,000 tons.
The winery has a set of advanced production equipment and a large oak barrel warehouse for storing wine. During the visit, colleagues introduced to us that the grapes planted in the vineyard are wild grapes, which are the most cold-resistant grape varieties in the world and the native grape varieties in China. Wild wine brewed from wild grapes is unique among the world wines. The grape variety of Beibing Hongshan is a cross of four generations, which embodies the painstaking efforts of three or four generations of grape people in China. Starting from 1956, the state began to study the cultivation techniques of wild grape varieties with local characteristics. After careful research by three or four generations of grape people, it took half a century to produce today's Beibing Hongshan grape.
Since 20 12, Ji' an has established a standardized demonstration base of Vitis amurensis with the technical support of the Institute of Specialty of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Since 20 14, the Yalu Valley Grape R&D Center has been established in cooperation with China Agricultural University, and the research, demonstration and popularization of mountain grape planting and wine-making technology are carried out based on Yalu Valley winery.
Beibinghong is a native variety bred from four generations of wild vitis amurensis in Changbai Mountain, and it is also the first variety in the world that can brew red iced wine without soaking skin. Every winter, the grapes hanging on the branches are naturally frozen and dried, and the sugar is highly concentrated. At this time, the ice wine was picked for low-temperature pressing and sugar-preserving fermentation, and it was rich in fruit flavor and sweet in taste, which was quite popular in the market.
The staff said: "Good wine is' planted'. These grapes not only need artificial weeding, but also limit production. It turns out that the yield per mu can reach 3000 Jin, and they limit the yield per mu to 800 Jin to ensure the quality of each grape. " Ji 'an is located in the "golden latitude zone of wine" in the world, close to Bordeaux, a famous grape gold industrial zone in France. Soil, precipitation, sunshine and other climatic conditions are extremely beneficial to the production of wild grapes, which are rich in disease-resistant wild grape resources. Changbai Mountain is an old mountain range, which resists the cold wind in the north, and the warm ocean air flows along the Yalu River, making it a semi-continental and semi-maritime climate, so it is also called the south of Northeast China.
Every winter, when the temperature is below -8℃ under natural conditions, it is the harvest season of the winery in a year. At that time, grapes could only be harvested after they formed ice crystals on the vines. Grapes wrapped in ice and snow are sent directly to the production plant and chilled. Even the residue after pressing exudes a strong grape aroma, so the ice wine brewed by fermentation is sincere and of excellent quality.
Standing on the observation deck of Yajiang Valley, leaning against the railing, it seems that thousands of miles of Yajiang River have been trained, and the green peaks are like clusters. The colorful boat is cloudy, and the Milky Way heron rises, which is difficult to draw. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as an independent "Xanadu" with the head of Changbai Mountain and the back of the left bank of Yalu River.
The staff of the winery said that the North Ice Red Ice Wine in Yajiang Valley has a good taste and good quality, and has won many gold and silver awards at home and abroad. Its color is deep ruby red, with a strong compound aroma of honey and almond, with a slight aroma of mint, Schisandra chinensis, hawthorn and licorice, with a strong fruit aroma, harmony, fullness and elegance, and a long aftertaste.
In recent years, the cultivation and wine-making techniques of wild grapes in Ji 'an have been continuously improved, especially the quality performance of Beibing Hongshan grapes has attracted much attention from the industry. The wine produced in Ji 'an Yalu Valley won 465,438+0 professional awards in various grape competitions at home and abroad. Among them, Vidal Ice Wine won the Platinum Award in the 20 17 Summit World Wine Competition, the Gold Award in the 20 18 Brussels Wine Competition and the Silver Award in the 26th Brussels International Wine Grand Prix on 20 19 (Switzerland). Beibing Red Iced Wine won the bronze prize in the 20 17 Summit World Wine Competition, 2065438. Winnie. Silver Award in the World Wine Competition. Wine has become an important economic pillar and cultural card in Ji 'an, and these beautiful wineries have also injected new vitality into local tourism.
