Luis Felipe Edwards Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

The Luis Felipe Edwards range of wines has been created for the discerning consumer who appreciates the full flavours and excellent value of quality wines from the New World. Luis Felipe Edwards Wines is a family-owned, boutique wine producer based in the Colchagua Valley in central Chile, creating fine wines for discerning wine drinkers around the world. The company is building a reputation internationally for the consistent quality of its wines and its professionalism. Our aim is to produce low volumes of grapes, small in size, in order to produce a more intense juice and therefore better quality wines. Very little spraying is used in the vineyard, and we use both drip and flood irrigation. The Puquillay vineyards, 180 km south of Santiago, have a special microclimate due to the mountains surrounding the property, and the considerable temperature differences which ensue are exceptionally favourable for producing fine red wines. 160 hectares are planted here - 105 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 hectares of Carmenère, 21 hectares of Shiraz, 7 hectares of Cot, 4 hectares of Petit Verdot and 5 hectares of Merlot. The Pupilla vineyards are located in the same valley and are within 50 kilometres of the Pacific coast. The climate and soil make them particularly suitable for producing high-quality white wines.
