The temperature change from day to night in the Apalta region of Chile's stunning Colchagua Valley is key to ripening the Carménère and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes fully, which in turn deliver wines with sumptuous colour, softs tannins and ripe dark-fruit aromas.
This Caballo Loco – or 'crazy horse' – combines all these wonderful characteristics of its terroir into a wine that has intense juicy flavours of blackcurrants and plums, and lighter notes of pepper, with a hint of spice on its elegant, long finish.
