Casillero del Diablo Reserva Chardonnay is steeped in the famous 19th-century legend of Viña Concha y Toro. To protect his finest private cellar from thieves, the winery's founder, Don Melchor, spread the rumor that the devil himself guarded the dark vaults—a tale that successfully kept intruders at bay and gave birth to one of the world's most famous wine brands. Sourced from selected vineyards in Chile's Central Valley, where cool coastal breezes help retain natural acidity, this Chardonnay showcases a bright, expressive character. The wine undergoes a combination of stainless steel fermentation to preserve fresh tropical fruit flavors and brief aging in French oak barrels to impart a delicate, creamy texture and subtle notes of vanilla and toasted hazelnut.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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.
