Near the source of Hutang Jianhu Lake Village, winery Jianhu (now part of Guyue Longshan) aroma drifting out of the village. Morning birds readily twitter cried, air very fresh, white smoke that curl, with glutinous rice sweet scent, flying over the door of the store wine flag, the sun rising slowly from the lake. Not many pedestrians on the streets, leisurely calm, soothing rhythm so I village release relaxed a lot. The people on the shore early in the fire, a cloud of smoke slowly drifting in the air. The house is much, the person familiar with the old, only the local accent die hard, wine or as in the past so pure.

I had a chance to ancient yellow wine brewing Jianhu Lake region, their inheritance mode of operation is more complex, there have been a king, soaking rice, steamed rice, spread the cold, falling cylinder, sealing, etc. more than 20 traditional fermentation process. But the brewing period will last a quarter or so, until two or three months of drinking and sealed into the altar warehousing, is completed.
