Wuliangye producing area environment

Yibin is located in the core area of "Golden Triangle of China Liquor", on the southern edge of Sichuan Basin and at the junction of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. It is an important ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The subtropical humid monsoon climate is suitable for the survival of microorganisms and constitutes a unique brewing environment.

Yibin has a unique weak acid yellow mud with strong viscosity, good water absorption and retention, good sealing performance, and is rich in minerals such as phosphorus, iron, nickel and cobalt, which is an excellent natural material for making wine cellars.

Good wine must have good water. The Minjiang River originates from the southern foot of Minshan Mountain and flows through the rainy jungle area. The water and soil along the way are well preserved, clear and transparent all the year round, pollution-free, clear in water quality, sweet in taste, moderate in acid and alkali, and rich in trace elements such as metasilicic acid, strontium and selenium. It is the top grade of wine production.
