How to use the ceramic amphora

Traditional Clay Amphora Limitations

  • Poor sealing leads to excess air, risking oxidation and volatile acidity increase
  • Water-sealed amphoras cannot prevent air ingress from temperature-driven breathing
  • Inconvenient residue removal, clarification, and cleaning during fermentation
  • No temperature control, risking excessive higher alcohols from high fermentation temps
  • No base platform for easy mobility
  • Fired below 900°C, low strength, requiring external cement reinforcement

Chengjing Advantages

  • Dual-purpose fermentation and storage, maximizing winery space
  • Elegant purple-red tone transforms industrial equipment into winery aesthetics
  • Enables small-batch premium varietal production for discerning customers
  • Excellent oxygenation control combined with natural catalytic properties preserves maximum fruit aroma and refines tannin structure
  • Fired at 1150-1180°C, high strength with acid-resistant structure from iron mineral fusion with silicates

Our Heritage

From Rongchang, one of China's four renowned purple clay regions

(Yixing, Rongchang, Qinzhou, Jianshui)

Centuries of Ceramic Expertise

Rongchang is China's earliest producer of 1000L large clay amphoras, the designated supplier for top Chinese distilleries.

Optimal Iron Content

Our clay contains 7-8% iron, providing essential catalytic properties for wine development while preserving fruit aromas.

Regular Material Testing

Periodic inspections ensure zero heavy metals in our clay, guaranteeing wine safety and quality.

Controlled Micro-Oxygenation

We customize oxygen permeability for different wines, protecting and developing superior fruit characteristics.

Craftsmanship Process

A perfect blend of traditional artistry and modern technology

Core Advantages

What sets our amphoras apart

01

Triple Protection Structure

Our proprietary top structure features a one-way valve, nitrogen protection, and a unique zero-oxygen water seal, delivering significantly longer freshness than conventional amphoras.

02

Large Opening Design

Our larger discharge port simplifies fermentation operations. The enhanced ventilation effect allows interior moisture to dry within 2 hours, versus 48+ hours for conventional small-mouth designs, preventing bacterial growth.

03

Burgundy-Style Solution

For white wines, select amphoras include automatic lees stirring. Combined with our oak stave program and suitable raw materials, achieve Burgundy-style white wines.

04

Mature Oak Program

Our refined oak stave aging approach preserves abundant fruit aromas while imparting oak barrel-like complexity. Oak staves can be removed without racking, preventing excessive oak flavor.

Pottery Is Our Tradition

Pottery Making is Our Tradition

Crafted in China, home to thousands of years of ceramic history, using locally-sourced special natural clay fired at high temperatures.

Due to the unique nature of ceramic, the forming process requires extensive handcraftsmanship.

At high temperatures, organic matter in the clay volatilizes, creating open pores that give our amphoras their characteristic breathability.
