Taiwan Summer Fun

Located in Puli Township of Nantou County, the Puli Winery is home to one of the eight national wines in Taiwan, the Shaosing Rice Wine. As implied by its name, it was originally produced in Shaosing, in China’s Zhejiang province. Where it was made and fermented from high-quality sticky rice, barley and distilled water. And since Puli offers warm weather and sweet, clear water, the Puli Winery has come to be known for producing excellent quality of Shaosing Rice Wine with bright yellow texture and unique fragrance.

The winery uses its own improved method of making the wine, sealed tightly and stored in earthen jar for 30 months, and for some higher-quality Shaosing Rice Wine, at least 60 months are waited for storage. Since the strict quality control and the fine water from Ailan springs, the wine produced here are superior quality with long-lasting taste.

After the 921 earthquake, the winery underwent a complete renovation and since then, the tourism industry of Puli entered a brand new era. Puli Winery also devoted to establish the landmark feature of Puli as the Hometown of Shaosing Rice Wine. On top of actively promoting the culture of Shaosing Rice Wine, there are also efforts in preserving the history of the winery, as the first Wine culture museum in Taiwan.
