Alto Los Romeros from Chile. Made by Luis Felipe Edwards. Chilean Merlot had long been recognised as a great value, easy drinking red

Luis Felipe Edwards vineyards, total over 2.000 hectares of prime vineyard land in the diverse valleys of Chile, benefiting from ideal microclimates for growing wine grapes in the distinct regions. LFE remains a family owned and managed winery, with two generations actively involved in keeping the brand synonymous with quality and traditional family values.

Alto Los Romeros wines are approachable, fruit forward, easy in style, and can be enjoyed on their own or with a variety of foods. The grapes come from Chile's winegrowing heartland- the Central Valley, and are expertly managed to enhance the fruit characteristics of each individual grape variety. Intense red color with violet tints. In the nose it presents aromas of fresh red fruits with soft notes of dried fruit. On the palate it has a nice medium body, with fresh acidity, soft tannins and notes of dark fruit with a long persistence. Big on fruit and full of flavour, yet dances lightly on the pallet.
