VITICULTURE AND VINIFICATION:
"This valley has a Mediterranean climate with four very well-defined seasons, a strong alternating influence of Pacific maritime breezes and Andean winds. This generates ideal conditions for winegrowing, especially during the summer months (November to April), when the average difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures averages 22 C (40 F) (35 C / 95F) max. – 13 C (55F) min.), which allows for perfect, slow ripening of the grapes over the long summer season, thereby allowing the formation of complete and longer molecular chains in the fruit that result in better aroma and flavor."

"These soils were formed by the accumulation of materials transported by water and gravity from higher sectors. The formation of these soils is originated by a parental material from the spurs of the Andes and Coastal Mountain Ranges. These are loam and clay loam soils with moderately deep, 2–5 slopes. -Winemaker

WINERY:
"At the beginning of the 19th century, a London-born doctor left his ship and settled in La Serena, Chile's second oldest city. His grandson became the first member of the Edwards family to make wine in Chile's ideal environment for growing grapes, and thereby founded a family tradition that flourishes to this day."

In 1976, his descendant, Luis Felipe Edwards Sr, purchased a large estate at Puquillay in some of the best viticultural land in Chile’s Central Valley. Thus began the latest chapter in the family’s winemaking story. "

He restored old vineyards planted in the 1930s and early 1950s, introduced several new grape varieties and eventually built a winery equipped with the latest technology to make and bottle wine under his own name. His first vintage, Luis Felipe Edwards Cabernet Sauvignon 1994, was launched on the international market in late 1995 and is still magnificently drinkable to this day."

Today, 100% under the family's control, the company exports to over 50 countries. Viña Luis Felipe Edwards is recognized worldwide as one of the Chile’s leading producers, with a range of high quality and award-winning wines produced by skilful local winemakers assisted by top international consultants." -Winery
