Dingzhuang Grapes

Dingzhuang Grapes are a protected geographical indication product.

　　Dingzhuang Grapes are one of the famous specialties of Jurong, produced in Dingzhuang Village, Maoshan Town, Jurong City. With their rich sweetness, fresh flavor, and absence of astringency or sourness, these grapes are the pride of Dingzhuang and were once served at a banquet in Beijing.

　　Dingzhuang Grapes are grown in a revolutionary base area, a national 4A-level scenic spot, and a Taoist sacred land—Maoshan Town, Jurong City, Jiangsu Province, with the Maoshan Mountain Range stretching out below. The exceptional quality of Dingzhuang Grapes stems from unparalleled natural advantages: the region’s climate and soil. Jurong’s Maoshan area boasts pleasant scenery, a mild and moist climate, distinct seasons, and moderate annual rainfall, making it a renowned health-preserving destination since ancient times. The soil here is also fertile sandy loam—perfect for grape cultivation. It is precisely because Maoshan gathers the essence of nature that it can produce grapes of top-tier taste.

　　1. Climate Conditions: The Maoshan area features a northern subtropical monsoon climate, with distinct seasons, a long frost-free period, no severe cold in winter or intense heat in summer, abundant rainfall, and ample sunshine. The annual average temperature is 15.2°C; the average annual rainfall is 1018 mm; the prevailing wind direction is southeast; and the average annual snowfall duration is 8–9 days. Maoshan’s climate is conducive to the breeding of various animals and the growth of plants, and it is also highly suitable for developing tourism, leisure, and vacation projects.

　　2. Soil Conditions: Maoshan Town is a typical low mountain and hilly region, with terrain consisting of alternating low mountains, hills, ridges, and river valley plains. The overall topography is higher in the north and south, and in the east and west, with most soils being yellow-brown loam, providing excellent conditions for the production and processing of agriculture, forestry, tea, fruit, bamboo, and medicinal plants.
