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 .

Vineyard & Production
Grapes are sourced from a specific block within the Apalta sub-valley, selected for the uniqueness and quality of their terroir.

Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
