Casillero Del Diablo Cabernet
Chilean Cabernet with a devil of a backstory, priced to pour.
The story behind Casillero Del Diablo
In 1883 Don Melchor de Concha y Toro carried Bordeaux vine cuttings to Chile's Central Valley and planted them. When bottles of his private reserve began vanishing from the stone cellar at Pirque in the Maipo Valley, he let the town believe the devil kept watch down there. The thefts stopped. Casillero Del Diablo was trademarked and launched as a commercial brand in 1966, and that rumor became one of Chile's best known exports.
The Cabernet Sauvignon still comes from Maipo, Rapel and Maule, warm days cooled by Pacific nights. It ferments in stainless steel, then rests in oak for the vanilla and toast you taste. Winemaking has long been guided by Concha y Toro's Marcelo Papa.
