This juicy fruit Merlot is made by Trophy winning winemaker Nicolas Bizzarri at the leading, family owned Luis Felipe Edwards estate in the premium Colchagua Valley. At this price you’re getting amazing panache for your pound – it’s smooth, rounded and full of lush plum charm. Having made his money in the construction industry, Luis Felipe Edwards Snr followed his dream and created his own wine estate, starting with a single piece of land and slowly buying up more and more vineyards. Today he owns a small valley with an ideal climate for vine growing and has a no expense spared cellar, housed in old colonial buildings on the estate. Its wines have won numerous top international awards. Enjoy this Merlot solo or with a vegetable gratin.
