Caballo Loco No. 20: A Bold Icon of Winemaking Excellence

by Sonuka Perera

Few wines capture the imagination and legacy of fine winemaking quite like Caballo Loco No. 20. As part of the iconic Caballo Loco series from Chile, this wine is not just a vintage—it’s a blend of history, passion, and innovation. Known for its distinctive multi-vintage blending technique, this wine brings together the best of past releases, ensuring a complexity and depth that few other wines can match.

Now available for island-wide wine delivery via ZipSip, this bottle is a must-have for those who appreciate a well-balanced, bold, and elegant red wine. Whether you're indulging in a romantic dinner, a celebration, or simply looking to elevate your wine collection, Caballo Loco No. 20 is a selection that never disappoints.


A Legacy of Innovation & Mystery

Unlike traditional wines, which are labeled by specific vintages, Caballo Loco (meaning ‘Crazy Horse’ in Spanish) takes a unique approach. Each edition is created using a solera-style system, where a portion of past vintages is blended into each new release. This results in a wine that carries the essence of multiple years, adding layers of complexity and character with every sip.

The Caballo Loco No. 20 edition is a testament to this philosophy. Blending together exceptional past vintages, this wine is a true collector’s choice, offering both structure and silky smoothness.


Tasting Notes: A Symphony in a Glass

Caballo Loco No. 20 is a wine that stands out, both in flavour and aroma. From the moment you uncork the bottle, you’re greeted with an enticing bouquet that hints at its depth and richness.

  • Aroma: Bursting with ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, layered with undertones of dark chocolate, vanilla, and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Palate: Full-bodied yet elegant, this wine offers a smooth texture with velvety tannins. Notes of blackcurrant, mocha, and hints of oak add further dimension, leading to a long and satisfying finish.
  • Finish: Bold yet balanced, with lingering dark fruit, spice, and subtle earthy undertones.

Caballo Loco No. 20 is a wine that evolves with each sip, making it an excellent choice for both seasoned wine lovers and those looking to explore the world of premium red wines.


Food Pairings: Elevate Your Dining Experience

A wine of this caliber deserves to be enjoyed with dishes that complement its rich and robust flavours. Here are some perfect pairings:

  • Grilled Steaks & Roasts: The bold tannins and deep fruit flavours enhance the smokiness of grilled meats, particularly premium steak cuts, lamb chops, and roast beef.
  • Aged Cheeses: Pair it with Gorgonzola, Gouda, or a well-aged Cheddar for an indulgent wine and cheese night.
  • Slow-Cooked Dishes: Think braised short ribs, beef bourguignon, or osso buco, which bring out the wine’s velvety texture.
  • Dark Chocolate Desserts: If you’re looking for a luxurious dessert pairing, high-quality dark chocolate or a rich chocolate lava cake will complement its subtle cocoa notes beautifully.

For those who love cheese and wine delivery in Colombo, this bottle is a fantastic choice to elevate your gourmet experience.
