Alto Los Romeros Valle Central Chardonnay 2023

Alto Los Romeros wines from Luis Felipe Edwards. The winery was established in the year 1976, when Luis Felipe Edwards Senior and his wife returned to Chile from Europe, after some years living there. They went to look for new opportunities, and decided to buy a family friend’s estate in Colchagua Valley. The Estate had a small winery, and about 60 hectares of vineyard. They expanded the historical countryside farm, and utilised local environment to improve viticulture. The property is surrouneded by foothills of the Andes mountains, forming a horse-shoe shape, facing toward North-West. Thus all of the vineyards are engulfed in its own micro climate.

Now, Luis Felipe Edwards family owns over 2000 hectare of prime vineyards, most of them are in Colchagua Valley. A small portion in San Antonio’s famous Leyda Valley.

Alto Los Romeros was the name given many years ago to the picturesque meadows of wild rosemary that grow on the peaks of the hills in Puquillay Alto, in the heart of Chile’s Colchagua Valley. At a height of 700 meters, they offer stunning panoramic views across to the nearby Andes Mountains. It was here that our original estate vineyards were planted, and the inspiration for this line of premium wines was born. Due to elevation and mountain influence, wines produced under Alto Los Romeros are often strong in texture, and relatively high in acidity, more refreshing and age-worthy. And they are not out of touch at all, most are easy drinking and having unbeatable value range of Chilean wines.

The Chardonnay of Alto Los Romeros has yellow in color with golden highlights. On the nose shows notes of white fruits and pineapple, and a touch of almonds from precise contact with lightly toasted French oak. On the palate it shows a refreshing acidity with a good initial attack, followed with a creaminess and unction in the midpalate, lending to a well-balanced and fresh wine.
