The company boasts a unique fermentation technique called "double sets", in which aged wine is used as an ingredient. The traditional technique was first adopted in 1816 and has a history of more than 200 years. The "double sets" yellow wine made from the technique was named part of the intangible cultural heritage of Jiangsu province in 2009.
