On the nose, dark blackberry and blueberry notes mingle with savoury notes of expresso and graphite, together with delicate vanilla, nutmeg and hints of tobacco. Vibrant on the palate, with powdery tannins, refreshing acidity and lingering flavours of ripe fruit, graphite and a hint of sweet spice.
Producer Information
Caballo Loco – meaning ‘Crazy Horse’ in Spanish – perfectly represents its namesake: enormously energetic, charismatic, and entirely memorable.The flagship brand of famed Chilean winery Valdivieso, Caballo Loco was named after one of their most eccentric winemakers, Jorge Coderch, who was responsible for pioneering the unique process used for this wine. Coderch was inspired by the solera method used in sherry production, in which barrel-aged wines from different years are progressively blended together. Every bottle of Caballo Loco is non-vintage, containing 50% of the current vintage and 50% of the previous edition. The blend of the wine also varies each year, dependent on which grapes have been most successful for that vintage. The resulting wines are uniquely dense in complexity, with layers of aroma and flavour that stand testament to why Caballo Loco is so revered.
