✨ Technical Specifications
The Devil's Collection Reserva Red is a modern, seductive blend that pays homage to one of the wine world's most famous legends. In the late 19th century, Don Melchor de Santiago Concha y Toro, seeking to protect his finest private reserve from thieves, spread the rumor that the devil himself guarded his cellar. The ruse worked perfectly, giving birth to the legendary Casillero del Diablo. This specific 'Devil's Collection' expression is crafted from carefully selected vineyards across Chile's diverse Central Valley, where warm sunny days and cool evening breezes from the Andes create ideal ripening conditions. The wine is aged in oak barrels to impart structure and complexity, resulting in a dark, mysterious, and highly approachable red blend characterized by ripe black fruit, delicate spice, and smooth, well-integrated tannins.
🍾 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.
