Valdivieso

Caballo Loco Number Sixteen Red Blend

A step up in terms of prestige for my far-far away country, an original idea (the solera) and much needed vindication for an old winery on the way to irrelevance otherwise. The wine? For me, not my cup of poison. I think I'm going to star using the word phallic for this kind of wine ferraris. Much like a trophy wife or a sexy vintage car. Something to brag about more than a simple drink. Hints of ego and notes of arrogance. But, hey! Wine is impeccable, this is just my embittered view. #chile #vallecentral #solera #bordeauxblend — 8 years ago

#solera system 35 year old cask started with late harvest #macabeo and then continually add #grenachegris and #grenacheblanc #garnacha to get an amber colored intensely aroma sweet wine. Hazelnuts waffles and beeswax and honey. Everything delicious and amber colored is in here. — 9 years ago

Love this dessert #cava from #freixenet made with #malvasia and they add a #solera to the licor de expedicion or dosage which gives it body and complexity. A lovely rarity that is not fully understood or appreciated by most. — 9 years ago
