The cause was a huge eruption – lava and fire spewing from deep in the heart of the earth up through the highest peaks of the Andes Mountains. This grand volcanic explosion brought beneficial minerals and soils to enrich Chile’s land – a great legacy we enjoy through the superb terroir of our valleys. There are 500 or so active volcanoes in Chile, the name of each tier within our Luis Felipe Edwards brand is a tribute to a different one.Food Match: Grilled or roasted vegetables.
