✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the cool-climate vineyards of the Aconcagua region, where maritime breezes from the Pacific Ocean temper the Chilean sun, the Casillero del Diablo Pinot Noir Reserva is a bright and elegant expression of this delicate grape. This wine carries the legacy of one of the wine world's most famous legends: in the late 19th century, founder Don Melchor de Concha y Toro spread the rumor that the devil himself guarded his private cellar to deter thieves. Today, this Pinot Noir is crafted to showcase fresh red berry aromas, such as strawberries and raspberries, complemented by subtle hints of toasted French oak from brief aging. It offers a well-structured palate with soft tannins and a refreshing acidity that reflects its coastal-influenced terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1883 by Don Melchor de Concha y Toro and his wife Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is the titan of Chilean viticulture, responsible for positioning the nation on the global fine-wine map. Anchored in the Pirque subregion of the Maipo Valley along the alluvial terraces of the Maipo River, the estate commands access to premier vineyard blocks across the Central Valley, Aconcagua, Coquimbo, and southern Chile. Here, stony, gravel-dominant soils, intense Andean diurnal temperature swings, and cooling maritime winds cultivate fruit of striking phenolic maturity and brisk acidity. Controlled for decades by the Guilisasti family, with winemaking led by technical director Marcelo Papa, the house blends vast scale with plot-by-plot precision and certified B Corporation sustainability standards. From foundational benchmarks like the historic Casillero del Diablo to terroir-driven crus like Terrunyo and the legendary Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon, the style exemplifies refined structure, savory typicity, and vibrant varietal purity.
