Description
Legend has it that Don Melchora, the founder of the Concha y Toro winery, hid a valuable wine collection in his personal cellar more than a hundred years ago. But over time, he noticed that bottles were mysteriously disappearing. Apparently, his secret cellar was no longer so secret, and the townspeople who had heard about his exquisite wines could not resist trying them for themselves.
As the locals were superstitious and feared supernatural phenomena, Don Melchora spread the rumor of strange happenings to secure his treasure. Noises in the cellar, echoes, shadows and figures could only be understood with an explanation: The devil himself was dwelling in his cellar. This is how the cellar, Casillero del Diablo, got its unique name and helped to make the wines known beyond the borders, making them one of the most famous Chilean wine brands in the world.
The Concha y Toro Casillero del Diablo Chardonnay Reserva comes from vineyards located just a few kilometers from the Pacific Ocean. The strong sea breezes and moderate temperatures make for remarkably fresh wines. The soils in the Limari Valley give the Chardonnay an elegant mineral note, while Casablanca provides fruity aromas such as peaches. This combination of climate and terroir results in a Chardonnay that is appreciated for its elegance and complexity.
