• Patricio Tapia: Concha y Toro has a total of 700 hectares of carmnre, and 400 of them are in Peumo, which provides the base of the fruit for this Casillero, a light, fresh red with the varietys characteristic herbal notes up front and with delicious, refreshing red fruit and touches of spice in a creamy, friendly body.

Producer Information

Casillero del Diablo is a value-led brand from Chile, a part of the portfolio of Concha y Toro, the largest wine producer in Latin America. Casillero del Diablo wines are made from classic Chilean grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmenere, and are widely available in the global marketplace. The brand was established in 1963, but the legend of Casillero del Diablo dates to the 19th Century at the cellar of Don Melchor, Concha y Toro’s founder. Wine was being stolen out of the cellar, so Don Melchor spread a rumor that the cellar was haunted by the devil himself, ‘El Diablo’. Casillero del Diablo source grapes from around Chile, including from vineyards in the Maipo, Maule, Rapel, Casablanca, and Limar Valleys. These are separated into a number of ranges Reserva, the Devil’s Collection, Reserva Privada and Riserva Especial and are both varietal and blended. The top wines fall under the Reserva Privada and Riserva Especial labels.
