The story of Carmenère in Chile has been told
frequently, with this Bordeaux grape being brought to Chile in 1850, where for
over 140 years it was mistaken for Merlot until it was “rediscovered” by a
French ampelographist in 1994. Now regarded as Chile's signature red grape,
whereas in Europe it has never recovered from the phylloxera plague that swept
Europe in the late 19th century and is now quite rare.
This wine was produced by Viña Luis Felipe Edwards,
one of Chile’s largest family-owned wineries, who have been dedicated to
producing wines of the highest quality since 1976. Their estate vineyards
contain vines of up to 75 years old, with this wine made from grapes grown in
the renowned Rapel Valley. LFE wines have consistently won awards from some of
the most prestigious competitions and wine critics around the world. In
addition, LFE has been awarded for being one of the best New World and Chilean
wine producers, almost consecutively since 2012.
The fruit was vinified in Luis Felipe Edwards's
winery in Nancagua using a blend of traditional and modern techniques, with
stainless steel vats throughout.
