✨ Technical Specifications
Born from the legendary cellars of Concha y Toro, Diablo Dark Red is a modern tribute to the famous Chilean folklore of the devil’s cellar. Sourced from the sun-drenched vineyards of Chile's Central Valley, this captivating red blend is crafted to emphasize depth, mystery, and indulgence. The winemakers utilize a proprietary blend of dark-skinned grapes, aging the wine in custom-toasted oak barrels to coax out luscious, velvety textures and rich, decadent flavors. It represents a bold, contemporary expression of Chilean winemaking, balancing intense black fruit with sweet spices and a touch of dark chocolate, designed for those who appreciate a smooth, seductive, and highly approachable red.
🍾 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.
