Casillero del Diablo Leyenda represents the pinnacle of Concha y Toro's legendary line, sourced from the historic clay and gravel soils of Pirque in the Maipo Valley—the very birthplace of the famous devil's cellar legend. According to local folklore, the winery's founder, Don Melchor, spread the rumor that the devil himself guarded his private cellars to deter thieves. This ultra-premium Cabernet Sauvignon pays homage to that tale. Crafted from carefully selected grapes grown on the stony terraces of the Maipo River, the wine undergoes traditional fermentation followed by extensive aging in French oak barrels. The result is a deeply structured, elegant red boasting intense notes of blackcurrant, plum, and subtle graphite, underpinned by refined tannins and a persistent finish that reflects the classic Maipo terroir.
