Viña Luis Felipe Edwards

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, a premier viticultural region in Chile.

The Viognier ferments for around 21 days in thermo-regulated steel tanks, with a small adjustment of acidity if needed. The finished wine is then racked into a series of tanks to release any lees and to clarify the wine, prior to filtering and bottling in early spring.

Drink it with mildly spiced curries or rich, creamy soups." Decanter Magazine, February 2021
