Catalog Locations

Despite the small size of the Taiwan Island, the complex terrain is the gift of the Hands of God that generates collision between the plates and the submarine volcanoes, so Taiwan becomes a place full of complicated terrains and rich biodiversity surrounded by waters and with extra high rainfall given by nature.

The tiny Taiwan Island (Formosa in Portuguese) owns 268 mountains over the altitude of 3,000 meters and the density of mountains ranks the top worldwide; therefore, the Company adopts the name Fu-Fong that signifies Formosan Peaks as well as “Fu-Fong for Fortune”.

Distilling procedures

Winemaking is a highly technical process, and every step is crucial and can affect the quality of the final product.

Steaming

At the beginning of the brewing process, the grains are cooked to release their starch. This step is fundamental to yeast fermentation; the high temperatures used during cooking convert the starch into fermentable sugars. Controlling the cooking time and temperature is crucial, as it affects the flavor and body of the wine.

Tunnel cooling machine

The liquid after cooking needs to be cooled rapidly to avoid excessively high temperatures negatively impacting the subsequent fermentation process. A tunnel cooler can effectively and quickly cool the hot liquid to a suitable temperature for adding yeast, which is a key piece of equipment to ensure successful fermentation.

Koji adding machine

Adding koji is a crucial step in brewing. At this stage, koji mold is added, which further breaks down the starch in the malt into sugar, providing the sugar source needed for fermentation. The choice of koji mold in this process has a significant impact on the final taste and aroma of the brewed spirit.

Cellaring and fermenting

In this step, the prepared mash is transferred to the fermentation pit and yeast is added. The yeast converts the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. During fermentation, the control of temperature, oxygen supply, and fermentation time plays a crucial role in the flavor, aroma, and alcohol concentration of the wine.

Distilling

After fermentation, the mash undergoes distillation, a crucial step in the winemaking process to separate alcohol and water. The liquid is heated, and alcohol and other components are separated based on their different boiling points. This process helps extract higher purity alcohol and, depending on the type of distillation equipment, affects the taste and texture of the spirit.

Storing

The distilled spirit is then aged in oak barrels or stainless steel containers. This process affects many aspects of the spirit, including its color, taste, and aroma.

Blending

Blending involves mixing different batches of wine to achieve a specific taste, flavor, and alcohol concentration. This step requires the winemaker to have a deep understanding of the wine's flavor profile and to use that understanding to adjust the wine's final characteristics.

Filling and finishing

Finally, after filtration and sterilization by heating, the wine is bottled. This is the final process of bottling the wine and preparing it for the market. The bottling process requires a hygienic environment to prevent contamination, and the bottles are then sealed to maintain the wine's quality.
