Vinification Details

The wine was made with traditional fermentation techniques. After fermentation the wine is drained off after around 10 days and the skins pressed. The wine is then racked into oak for a period of time before the winemaking team makeup the final blend.

History

The history of Viña Luis Felipe Edwards (LFE) dates back to 1976, when Luis Felipe Edwards Sr. purchased the Fundo San José de Puquillay estate, located in the Colchagua Valley. The estate sits nestled in a secluded horseshoe-shaped valley, separated from the majestic snow-capped Andes by the smaller San Fernando ridge. Viña Luis Felipe Edwards has since grown to be the largest 100% family-owned wine company in Chile, with 1850 hectares of estate vineyards and is exported to more than 90 countries.

Regional Information

The main vineyards used for this wine are located in Colchagua Costa , Lolol and Pumanque Valley, the area has mainly granitic soils with a high potential for quality wines. The area is more coastal and therefore more cooler than the rest of the valley, being very suitable for Merlot. All the vineyards are managed to produce low yields and high quality.

Disappointing

2 stars

I decanted this and gave it 90 minutes before tasting. I found it so dry it seemed to suck the moisture out of my mouth. It felt thin, and tasted sharp on the palate. I expect Merlot to be full, round. This was not at all like that. Maybe it needs a year or two.

Delicious

5 stars

Delicious, jammy, blackcurranty, deep smooth. warming for these cold nights. Great for the money.
