Non-Vintage — Curicó Valley, Chile
Viña Valdivieso’s ‘Caballo Loco’ (‘Crazy Horse’) range is one of the boldest icons in Chilean wine. The original red Caballo Loco — now in its twenties of numbered releases — pioneered a non-vintage, multi-vintage, multi-vineyard solera-style assemblage philosophy in Chile. The Blanco line, launched more recently, applies the same wild, multi-varietal approach to white wine, drawing on a patchwork of cool-climate parcels across Valdivieso’s holdings.
The ‘No. 2’ release follows the inaugural Blanco N°1 and continues the same template: a non-vintage assemblage that intentionally blurs vintage signatures in favour of producing a consistent, complex house style. The blend is led by Sémillon and Viognier with notable contributions from Chardonnay, Moscatel and other aromatic varieties — barrel-fermented and aged in a mix of vessels including older French oak, concrete and amphorae, producing a serious, textured white with both lift and depth.
