Luis Felipe Edwards Sr showed his vision in 1976, when he bought the Fundo San Jose de Puquillay estate, located in the Colchagua Valley, a premier viticultural region in Chile. The estate nestles in a secluded horseshoe-shaped valley, separated from the majestic snow-capped Andes by the smaller San Fernando ridge, and in 1976 it was planted with 60 hectares of vines from the early 20th century. In the early 1990s, Luis Felipe Sr. decided to make wine under his own name and built a modern winery equipped with the latest technology. Vina Luis Felipe Edwards has since grown to be the largest fully family-owned wine company in Chile, with 1850 hectares of estate vineyards. Its vineyards are located in four regions in Chile, with principal sites situated in the internationally renowned Colchagua, home to LFE900 - Chile's highest mountain vineyards - and Leyda, cool coastal vineyards where top quality white grapes and cool climate black grapes flourish.
