「醴」形容醇美的事物。「醴酒」則是中華文化中特殊的甜酒,從達官顯貴到百姓黎庶,從拜相封侯到洞房花燭夜,既可以當作奢華大宴,亦可成為日常小酌。
「醴酩」的宗旨則更近一步,是希望將奢華融入日常的生活哲學 “Daily Luxury”,並因此持續尋覓那些與台灣文化共鳴、能貼合我們飲食習慣與美學感受的自然、樸實佳釀。
我們一路走來,穿梭於不同的釀酒傳統與風土經驗,在無數風味與產區之中摸索學習,逐漸形成了屬於醴酩的選酒視角與標準。
在這樣的歷程中,紐西蘭成為我們理念實踐的理想夥伴之一。它與台灣同為海島,橫跨多重緯度,風土純淨多變,並以尊重自然、永續創新為核心。這樣的精神,正呼應著我們所相信的未來釀酒風貌。
以這樣的選酒方式為鏡,我們持續探索世界各地的酒莊與產區,挖掘每一處所孕育出的獨特潛能,包括各式壤土、原生老藤、野生酵母、田野發酵、酒渣培養、低硫干預與自然釀造等等,將葡萄酒千姿百態、由土地、人與釀造哲學共同形塑的面貌,呈現給願意細細品味的人們。
而我們也將持續走下去,去探索更多值得分享的可能。
“Lǐ” (醴) is a classical term used to describe something rich and beautiful. “Lǐ wine” (醴酒) refers to a special kind of sweet wine in traditional Chinese culture. From noble banquets to everyday gatherings, from celebrations of power to wedding nights, it has long held a place on the tables of both royalty and common folk. Luxurious, yet approachable.
At Liv Ming, we take this concept a step further. Our philosophy is to bring a sense of daily luxury into modern life. Guided by this ideal, we continue to seek wines that resonate deeply with Taiwanese culture, offering natural and honest expressions that complement our local palate and aesthetic values.
Our journey has taken us through many winemaking traditions and environments. Through countless encounters with regions and flavors, we have gradually shaped a unique perspective and standard for selecting wines that reflect who we are.
Along this path, New Zealand has become one of our most aligned partners. Like Taiwan, it is an island nation that stretches across multiple latitudes, with a climate shaped by the meeting of ocean winds and mountain air. Its environment gives rise to wines of purity and clarity, with a strong sense of place. Guided by a deep respect for nature, sustainability, and innovation, New Zealand reflects many of the values we believe represent the future of winemaking.
Taking this approach to wine selection as our mirror, we continue to explore vineyards and producers around the world. We seek to uncover the unique potential of each region through diverse soils, ancient vines, wild fermentation, field vinification, lees aging, low-sulfur practices, and natural winemaking. Our goal is to present the multifaceted beauty of wine, shaped by land, people, and philosophy, to those who find joy in the details.
We walk on. We continue to search for wines and stories that deserve to be shared.
