✨ Technical Specifications
Steeped in the famous 19th-century legend of the 'Devil's Cellar'—a clever rumor spread by founder Don Melchor to deter thieves from stealing his finest bottles—Casillero del Diablo has become an international icon of Chilean winemaking. This Sauvignon Blanc Reserva is crafted to capture the vibrant, coastal energy of Chile's cool-climate valleys, such as Casablanca and Limarí. Benefiting from the cooling morning fogs and maritime breezes of the Pacific Ocean, the grapes undergo a slow ripening process that preserves their natural acidity and intense aromatics. Fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks to maintain its crisp, clean profile, the wine showcases bright citrus, peach, and herbaceous notes, representing a classic, approachable expression of Chilean terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Concha y Toro and his wife Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is Chile's preeminent wine producer and a cornerstone of South American winemaking history. Headquartered in Pirque within the historic Maipo Valley, the estate originated with noble French cuttings sourced directly from Bordeaux, laying the groundwork for a portfolio that now spans Chile's finest valleys from Limarí to Peumo. Concha y Toro pairs cutting-edge viticultural science with meticulous stewardship, crafting wines that reflect the diverse microclimates and soils of the Central Valley, Aconcagua, and southern regions. The winery is universally celebrated for benchmark red varietals—most notably expressive Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère—exemplified in prestige cuvées such as Carmín de Peumo, the Terrunyo series, and the enduring Marques de Casa Concha label.
