The description below is the retailer’s own wording.
Caballo Loco Grand Cru Apalta is an exceptional single-terroir red wine from Viña Valdivieso, sourced exclusively from a specific block within the prestigious Apalta sub-valley in Chile's Central Valley. Inspired by the French Grand Cru system, this wine celebrates the unrepeatable character of its origin, crafted from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere grown in conditions that cannot be replicated anywhere else in Chile .
Why You'll Love It
Apalta is one of Chile's most celebrated wine-growing sub-valleys, a warm, sheltered amphitheatre of old vines in Colchagua that consistently produces wines of extraordinary concentration and complexity. Caballo Loco Grand Cru Apalta captures the very best of this exceptional terroir, combining the structure and depth of Cabernet Sauvignon with the distinctive spice and dark fruit character of Carmenere. The result is a wine of real power and elegance, built to impress and to age.
Vineyard & Production
Grapes are sourced from a specific block within the Apalta sub-valley, selected for the uniqueness and quality of their terroir. The wine is crafted using the same philosophy as the original Caballo Loco, a progressive blending approach inspired by the solera method used in sherry production, combining the current vintage with previous editions to build extraordinary layers of complexity and depth. Bottled at 14.5% ABV.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass. The nose is intense and inviting, with aromas of black fruits, currants, chocolate, and vanilla. The palate is complex and well-rounded, with silky tannins, notes of dark fruit, spice, and a long, lingering finish of real elegance and power.
Perfect Pairings
An outstanding partner for beef, lamb, and game dishes with rich, hearty sauces. Also excellent alongside strong cheeses and slow-cooked red meat dishes. Grape Varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere
