AGED SHAOXING

Aged Shaoxing wine is a renowned Chinese rice wine, celebrated for its deep amber color and rich, complex flavors. Hailing from the Shaoxing region in Zhejiang province, this wine is made from glutinous rice, water, and a unique wheat-based fermentation starter called “qu.”

The aging process, which can span several years, imparts a distinctive aroma and taste, characterized by notes of caramel, nuts, and a hint of sweetness. Its smooth, mellow finish makes it a versatile ingredient in Chinese cuisine, often used to enhance the flavor of dishes like braised meats and seafood, or enjoyed as a sipping wine.
