More Daqu Fenjiu Fenjiu from Xinghua Village, Fenyang County, Shanxi Province, is world-famous for its three unique characteristics: clear, clean, elegant and pure, long-lasting sweetness, color and fragrance. Xinghuacun Fenjiu has been famous for thousands of years and its reputation is inseparable from the pure water and skillful craftsmanship of the wine making.
The brewing of Fenjiu wine has a history of more than a thousand years. It originated from rice wine before the Tang Dynasty, and later developed into white wine-distilled wine. Fenjiu is one of the famous ancient wines and has been praised by literati and writers since the Tang Dynasty. Du Mu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote the poem "It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival. Passers-by on the road are about to lose their souls. They ask where to go to the restaurant, and the shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village in the distance." This poem is very popular and widely praised. At the beginning of this century (the late Qing Dynasty), there were three wineries in Xinghua Village producing Fenjiu. With their exquisite brewing technology and unique quality style, they have won five awards in domestic product competitions. After winning the first-class gold medal at the Panama International Exposition in 1915, Fenjiu's reputation spread throughout the world. However, the ravages of reactionary rule, the Japanese invasion, and years of war brought the production of Fenjiu liquor to the brink of extinction. By 1947, on the eve of liberation, the aroma of wine that had permeated Xinghua Village for thousands of years finally disappeared.
Fenyang was liberated in June 1948, and Fenjiu production resumed in September of the same year. The brand-new Xinghua Village Fen Liquor Factory was established in the ancient Xinghua Village. It has now become one of the largest liquor factories in China, and its output and quality continue to create new levels.
The brewing of Fenjiu uses "handfuls of sorghum" from the Jinzhong Plain as the raw material, "green koji" made from barley and peas as the saccharification starter, and a unique brewing process of "steaming and clearing twice." The resulting wine is crystal clear, fragrant and fragrant, sweet, mellow and refreshing. The aftertaste is long after drinking, the wine is strong and light without irritation, making people happy and happy. Fenjiu's pure, elegant fragrance is a typical example of Chinese light-flavor liquor. Fenjiu has won many famous wine titles and gold medals at national wine tasting events. The low-alcohol (38°) Fenjiu, Fentejia Liquor, won the Golden Bottle Award at the national low-alcohol liquor tasting event in 1987.
