Caballo Loco, Blanco no 2. In giftbox 2024 White

Caballo Loco Blanco No. 2 is an unusually distinctive Chilean white wine, presented in a giftbox and built around the same perpetual-blend philosophy that defines the iconic Caballo Loco range. Each release incorporates half of the previous edition, creating remarkable continuity and depth while allowing every bottling to develop its own character. The wine’s origins reach back to 1994, when carefully preserved reserves from the cellars of Lontué were brought together to create something entirely unique.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a mature lemon-yellow colour in the glass. Its savoury, saline personality comes through immediately on the nose, layered with citrus, orange peel and subtle oat-like nuances. On the palate, vibrant acidity provides poise and energy, while refined waxy tones add texture and complexity. The finish is persistent, elegant and beautifully structured. Already compelling thanks to its extended maturation, Blanco No. 2 has the concentration and freshness to develop further in bottle. With proper cellaring, its citrus and saline notes may evolve toward even more pronounced savoury, waxy and nutty complexity.

Production
The wine is made from a distinctive blend that includes Chardonnay and Moscatel, with the components treated separately according to variety. Chardonnay is traditionally fermented and matured on its lees for five years, while Moscatel spends four years in a clay amphora. The remaining varieties are fermented in stainless steel and aged for three to four years on their lees in oak, with regular bâtonnage to build texture. The wine follows Caballo Loco’s unique perpetual-blend method, in which each edition contains half of the preceding release, resulting in exceptional depth and continuity.

Food & Serving
This versatile white works beautifully with rich seafood dishes, including fish stews, lobster and paella. Its savoury character and lively acidity also make it a compelling match for grilled meats, asparagus, almonds and mature cheeses. Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Decanting is not essential, but a brief 15–20 minute decant can help open the wine and reveal its layered aromas.

Producer
Caballo Loco is one of Chile’s most distinctive and characterful wine projects, rooted in the historic cellars of Lontué in the Curicó Valley. The story began with the careful preservation of outstanding reserves from older vintages, which were first brought together in 1994 to create the original Caballo Loco style. Its unconventional blending approach, long maturation and combination of oak, stainless steel and amphora ageing have established the producer as a singular force in Chilean wine.
