Osmanthus Honey Wine

Osmanthus Honey Wine

　　Xianning City has a long history of cultivating osmanthus. Historical records indicate that over 2,300 years ago during the Warring States period, the poet Qu Yuan wrote the beautiful lines “Offer osmanthus wine and pepper sauce” and “I ride my osmanthus boat” as he passed through Xianning. A tradition of brewing osmanthus-flavored liquor has existed among the local people for 500 years. A small number of thousand-year-old osmanthus trees still exist in Xian’an.

　　 Drawing on the essence of millennia-old brewing techniques and integrating modern science and technology, the “Guijiacun” series of wines are meticulously crafted using Xianning’s natural wild specialties: osmanthus, bamboo juice, mineral water, and high-quality glutinous rice as the main ingredients. The finished product has a natural light yellow hue, a fresh and mellow taste, smooth sweetness, and a clean finish, along with a uniquely pure natural fragrance. It was designated as the official liquor for China’s 4th Bamboo Culture Festival.

　　 Xianning City has been awarded the title of “Hometown of Osmanthus in China” by the National Forestry Department. The city leads the nation in osmanthus production, variety, and quality.
