Xiaogan Rice Wine

Xiaogan Rice Wine is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　Xiaogan Rice Wine is a local delicacy with a history of over a thousand years. It is made from high-quality glutinous rice produced in Xiaogan, fermented using the traditional method with the region’s heritage Qu (fermentation starter), and is classified as a natural, green beverage. Thanks to its carefully selected ingredients and unique brewing process, Xiaogan Rice Wine is as white as jade liquid, fragrant and enticing, sweet and refreshing, rich yet not clinging, thin yet not runny. It leaves the mouth moist and warms the stomach after consumption, with a long-lasting aftertaste.

　　In 1958, Chairman Mao Zedong personally visited Xiaogan during an inspection tour and tasted Xiaogan Rice Wine, praising it as “delicious and fine.” The “Shenlin” brand of rice wine inherits and promotes the characteristics of this traditional ethnic product. Based on the local natural conditions (water quality, soil, flora, temperature, humidity, wind, etc.) and the fundamental principles of rice wine brewing, it has developed a vacuum packaging technique that adapts to these natural conditions while differing from other rice wine production methods—thus resolving the millennia-old issue of storage and preservation. The launch of “Shenlin” brand Xiaogan Rice Wine is the crystallization of the wisdom and the fruit of the hard work of the Xiaogan malt and rice wine artisans.
