About this deal

Pinot Grigio – light, fragrant, and easy drinking, it’s lovely on its own, or delicious with delicate salads, seafood pasta, grilled fish, and light styles of risotto. Carmenere – Chile’s national grape, its scented, rich, spicy, with a violet edge, and a hint of mocha; it’s great with barbecues, roasts and steaks, but is viewed as the perfect red to go with curry, so look no further.

Chile’s long, narrow shape covers over 10 degrees latitude from north to south, from the cold climes of Patagonia, to the almost tropical conditions at the far north of the country. Concha Y Toro own and have planted vineyards across the length of the country and each grape variety is grown in the region, best suited to it. The cool, coastal wine region of Casablanca produces fresh, elegant white wines, whilst the warmer, more central valleys of Colchagua are the perfect climate for Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Sauvignon Blanc – fresh, zesty, with a gooseberry, herbaceous edge, these refreshing wines work with seafood, Indian and Chinese dishes, and fresh salads, such as goats cheese or tuna. The Casillero range of wines covers just about every aroma and style in the spectrum of wine, so it’s impossible to generalise. The main trait across the range is the purity of the fruit and the expression of the individual grape varieties, with lots of intensity, and ripe flavour. Here are some suggestions: Casillero del Diablo produces a fresh, dry, fruity sparkling wine, but the rest of the range are wines named after individual grape varieties.Casillero del Diablo covers a wide range of styles, encompassing all of Chiles’ best known grapes, and a few lesser known ones. It’s consistently one of the most acclaimed of the big wine brands, in terms of awards and experts recognition. The Reserva range in particular has probably the widest selection of styles and varietals of any Chilean brand, with the focus on representing true varietal character, and an expression of the grape and the region. The wines are lovingly made under the eagle eye of head winemaker Marcelo Papa, one of the best known and respected winemakers, not only in Chile, but in the world. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. The 'cellar of the Devil' is how the name translates, and Casillero del Diablo has one of the best legends behind any wine label in the world. The leading light of Chilean wine brands in the UK, Casillero is loved by wine consumers and wine writers alike, for its high quality, reliability, and consistency. Over 8% of all wine sales in the UK are now from Chile, and Casillero has been the pioneer of this. In Total, Casillero wines are produced from 7 different wine regions in Chile, from the most northern Limari Valley, to the deep south, and the emerging cool climate Bio Bio Valley.

Casillero del Diablo is the best known brand of Chilean wine, owned by the biggest wine producer in Chile, Concha Y Toro. More than 135 years ago, Don Melchor de Concha y Toro was renowned for crafting some of the finest wines in Chile. Reserving for himself an exclusive batch of his best wines, he ignited a rumor that the devil himself was his cellar’s guardian—and in doing so, ensured thieves stayed away from his precious wines. This rumor became a legend that conquered the world, with Casillero del Diablo (“the devil’s cellar”) today recognized as one of the world’s leading wine brands. First released in 1963, Casillero del Diablo is a worldwide standard-bearer for premium quality Chilean wines—and the legend of the Devil’s Cellar lives on at the original Concha y Toro family estate, Chile’s leading tourist destination. The legend of Casillero del Diablo was created by the company’s founder, Don Melchor, over 120 years ago, when he noticed that some of the finest wines from his cellar were disappearing. He spread the rumour to the local village, that a devil lived in the cellar, to discourage the thieves. The wines remained in the cellar after that, but the legend lived on! Today, Concha y Toro is one of the world’s most respected and highly regarded wine companies, exporting to over 135 countries across the world.Shiraz – the great stalwart of Australian reds, but now equally successful in Chile, look no further than steak or a spiced up barbecue selection to fit the bill. The range covers over 12 different wines and styles, including well known international varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, to Chile’s national grape variety, Carmenere. Shiraz Rose – a bowlful of strawberries and raspberries, this is intensely fruity, yet dry, and a great match with either salmon, tuna, or even better with Indian spiced fish. Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product.

This is the Reserva range; the next step up the scale is the Reserva Privada selection, which takes each of these grape varieties to the next level in terms of expression, concentration and style.
