✨ Technical Specifications
The Reserva Privada Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz is an elevated expression of Concha y Toro's legendary Casillero del Diablo line, rooted in the famous 19th-century folklore of the 'Devil's Cellar'—a rumor started by the founder to deter thieves from stealing his finest private reserves. This premium bottling brings together structured Cabernet Sauvignon, primarily sourced from the stony soils of the Maipo Valley, and plush, spicy Shiraz. Aged in French oak barrels, the wine marries the classic blackcurrant and structured tannins of Cabernet with the dark plum, black pepper, and velvety texture of Shiraz, resulting in a sophisticated, full-bodied red that honors its historic heritage.
🍾 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.
