✨ Technical Specifications
Steeped in one of the wine world's most famous legends, Casillero del Diablo (the 'Devil's Cellar') owes its name to the winery's founder, Don Melchor de Concha y Toro. To protect his finest private reserve from thieves, he spread the rumor that the devil himself guarded his dark, underground cellars. Today, this iconic Cabernet Sauvignon represents the quintessential Chilean expression of the grape, sourced from select vineyards across the fertile Central Valley. The wine is typically aged in American and French oak barrels, resulting in a structured yet approachable red characterized by rich notes of blackcurrant, dark plums, and subtle hints of vanilla, toast, and sweet spices.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Concha y Toro and his wife Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is Chile's preeminent wine producer and a cornerstone of South American winemaking history. Headquartered in Pirque within the historic Maipo Valley, the estate originated with noble French cuttings sourced directly from Bordeaux, laying the groundwork for a portfolio that now spans Chile's finest valleys from Limarí to Peumo. Concha y Toro pairs cutting-edge viticultural science with meticulous stewardship, crafting wines that reflect the diverse microclimates and soils of the Central Valley, Aconcagua, and southern regions. The winery is universally celebrated for benchmark red varietals—most notably expressive Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère—exemplified in prestige cuvées such as Carmín de Peumo, the Terrunyo series, and the enduring Marques de Casa Concha label.
