Moutai and Wuliangye are not the same water source.

Wuliangye’s brewing water source goes 90 meters underground, and extracts natural mineral water from ancient rivers through a 400-meter water mining tunnel. The water used for brewing Moutai comes from the Chishui River.

The water used in Wuliangye originates from the southern foothills of Minshan Mountain and flows through rainy jungle areas. The water and soil are well maintained along the way. It is clear and transparent all year round, without pollution. The water quality is clear, the taste is sweet and refreshing, slightly sweet, and the pH is moderate. , rich in metasilicic acid, strontium, selenium and other trace elements, it is a top grade for wine production.

The Chishui River water used in Maotai is of good quality. The wine distilled from this slightly sweet water with no dissolved impurities is particularly sweet.

Extended information:

The production of Wuliangye has small temperature differences throughout the year and day and night temperature differences, and high humidity, which is very conducive to the growth of winemaking raw materials. It is one of the areas with the best climate for crops at the same latitude. . Yibin has a unique weakly acidic yellow mud clay, which has strong viscosity, good water absorption and water retention, good sealing properties, and is rich in phosphorus, iron, nickel, cobalt and other minerals. It is an excellent natural material for making wine cellars. .

The Maotai Distillery District was built in the upper reaches of the Chishui River. The water quality is good, low hardness, rich in trace elements, and pollution-free. The slightly acidic purple-red soil in the canyon area, the special climate of warm winters and hot summers, little rain and wind, high temperature and high humidity, as well as the millennium brewing environment, make the air full of rich and unique microbial communities.
