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.

Founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Santiago Concha y Toro and his wife, Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is Chile's most historic and globally recognized winery, headquartered in the picturesque commune of Pirque within the Maipo Valley. Under the stewardship of the Guilisasti family since the mid-20th century, the estate has expanded its reach across Chile's premier terroirs, from the coastal breezes of Casablanca to the warm, clay-rich soils of Peumo in the Cachapoal Valley. The winery is celebrated for its pioneering spirit and commitment to sustainability, producing world-class wines that showcase the diverse microclimates of Chile. Their portfolio is anchored by iconic expressions such as the critically acclaimed Carmín de Peumo Carmenere, the terroir-driven Terrunyo line, and the legendary, globally beloved Casillero del Diablo range.
