History

The history of Caballo Loco is the history of a blend: the constant search for the best possible expression, valley by valley, year after year, beyond any border of origin.

1994

The origin

In the quiet winery of Lontué, Jorge Coderch, who inspired the name Caballo Loco, and the winemaking team at Viña Valdivieso bet on instinct, giving life to a wine with the rebellious spirit of a wild horse.

The blend

A blend without borders

The result was not just a bold, top-quality blend, but the coexistence of different grape varieties, valleys, and years in a single glass.

The valleys

The voice of each valley

Each valley brings its own voice to the Caballo Loco universe, and together they give life to a collection of unique identities. The harvests merge like the unstoppable energy of a horse in motion: intense, passionate, and guided by instinct.

Today

A legacy in motion

Inspired by the strength of its name, this wine defies convention: it breaks with tradition and transforms the wild into elegance. Every bottle preserves that legacy of freedom, a living spirit in constant evolution, one that cannot be contained in a single glass.
