Winlu grape leaves are planted in the Turpan, Xinjiang, China (42.54 degrees north latitude, 89.11 degrees east longitude), which is an ideal place for grape cultivation in the world. The unique climate makes grape leaves extraordinary quality, as follows:
1. Adequate sunlight: The annual sunshine hours reach about 3000-3200 hours. Adequate sunlight allows grape leaves to fully photosynthesize, providing energy for growth and development, making them lush, with large leaf area and high chlorophyll content.
2. Large temperature difference between day and night: up to 20℃. During the day, photosynthesis is active and more organic matter is synthesized; at night, respiration weakens, consumption is reduced, and more organic matter accumulates in the leaves, improving quality while enhancing stress resistance, thickening the cell walls and increasing toughness.
3. Dry and little rain: Turpan has a dry climate, little precipitation, and low air humidity, which inhibits the breeding of pathogens and pests. Pesticides and insecticides are never used to ensure 100% drug residue-free and safe to eat.
4. Long frost-free period: The average frost-free period is 268.6 days throughout the year, and the growing season is long, with sufficient time to accumulate nutrients and carry out physiological activities, which is conducive to maturity and quality improvement.
5. High-quality soil: The soil in Turpan is mostly sandy soil, with good air permeability and drainage, which is very suitable for grape leaves cultivation.
6. Meltwater irrigation: The snow in Tianshan Mountains does not melt all year round. When the temperature rises, the snow melts into streams to irrigate the vineyards. The meltwater is pure, pollution-free and rich in minerals, nourishing the grape leaves and giving them pure sweetness.
Turpan's unique climate makes grape leaves grow thin and tough. Such leaves can better wrap fillings during cooking, are not easy to break, and have a softer taste, making them suitable for making delicacies Doma.
The dry climate with little rain and the large temperature difference between day and night make the fiber development of grape leaves relatively small, and the taste is fresh and tender without roughness. Whether eaten raw or cooked, it can give people a good taste experience.
