✨ Technical Specifications
Steeped in the legendary folklore of Chile's most famous cellar, the Casillero del Diablo Syrah Reserva carries the legacy of Don Melchor de Concha y Toro, who spread the rumor that the Devil himself guarded his private collection to deter thieves. Crafted from grapes grown in the diverse microclimates of Chile's Central Valley, this Syrah benefits from a Mediterranean climate where warm days are tempered by cool evening breezes from the Andes and the Pacific. The wine is typically aged in medium-toasted American oak barrels, which imparts subtle sweet spices to its naturally robust profile. It delivers a rich, smooth expression characterized by dark forest fruits, black pepper, and a touch of smoke, embodying the approachable yet structured style that has made the Reserva range globally renowned.
🍾 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.
