Wuliangye Yibin 52% Chinese Baijiu (1x 500mL) China.
The undisputed global benchmark for ``strong-aroma`` (nong-xiang) baijiu.
Unlike the savory, soy-sauce funk of Kweichow Moutai, Wuliangye is highly celebrated for its explosive fruitiness, vibrant floral complexity, and multi-layered sweetness.
Its distinct profile is derived from a meticulous five-grain recipe—sorghum, rice, glutinous rice, wheat, and corn—fermented in historic, centuries-old clay pits in Yibin, Sichuan.
Nose: Intensely fragrant, pungent, and estery. It blasts open with a rich bouquet of ripe tropical fruits (predominantly pineapple, guava, and fresh apricots), sweet meadow grass, and an elegant backdrop of white flowers and earthy grains.
Palate: Full-bodied, highly viscous, and remarkably luscious. Despite its hot 52% ABV entry, it transitions into a velvety harmony of sweet rice pudding, anise, and liquorice root. Subtle savory elements like a delicate touch of soy sauce and herbal bitterness balance the upfront sweetness.
Finish: Exceptionally long, warming, and clean. The fruitiness fades into a crisp, refreshing, and slightly peppery Szechuan kick mixed with a lingering hint of spearmint.
Serving: Best served completely neat at room temperature in tiny traditional crystal glasses. Swirl the glass to observe the tiny beads forming along the rim, which indicate its premium oil-rich texture.
Food Matching: Wuliangye pairs beautifully with savory stir-fries, delicate dim sum, roasted duck, and aromatic Sichuan hot pots, as its high proof and bright fruitiness cleanly slice through rich fats.

Provenance; “Place of origin; derivation”
Whenever you buy wine there is an inherent risk, as wine is a perishable good regardless of whether it is sealed under cork or screwcap. At GraysOnline we minimise the risk to you by providing as much information as possible regarding the provenance of the wine we sell.
We take the time to individually inspect each bottle and photograph it so you know exactly what you are buying. All Private Cellar wine stored at GraysOnline is kept in a temperature controlled wine storage area. Any wine that doesn’t meet our quality standards will not be sold.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Wines displaying a 5 star designation are recognised as being of proven quality provenance, our team has verified that the wine has been stored correctly from original purchase straight from the winery, documentation, where possible, has been sighted and cellaring conditions have been inspected. This wine generally comes from only the best and most respected of wine collectors in Australia.
★ ★ ★ ★
Wines displaying a 4 star designation have been cellared correctly as verified by the current owners. In general these wines have been purchased from retailers or traders and stored in cellared conditions from original purchase.
★ ★ ★
Wines displaying a 3 star designation are in good condition when we inspect and we are able to confirm some cellaring conditions but we are unable to verify all ownership and storage conditions of their history.
A wine displaying no stars doesn’t mean that there is a problem with the wine, it simply means that we have been unable to verify provenance, however a quality image is always available for the purchaser to make their own purchasing decisions.
Private Cellar wine is wine which has been stored for aging purposes in a Private Cellar.
Storing the wine and allowing it to age has the potential to improve the quality of the wine. While wine is perishable and capable of deteriorating, storing the wine can alter the aroma, colour, mouthfeel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster.
IT IS AN OFFENCE TO SELL OR SUPPLY TO OR OBTAIN LIQUOR ON BEHALF OF A PERSON UNDER THE AGE OF 18 YEARS.
Someone 18 years or over must be present to sign for these deliveries.
At the completion of the sale, if you have not already provided your date of birth during the registration process, we will send you a notice requiring you to supply your date of birth to confirm that you are over the age of 18.
