Casillero del Diablo is the best known brand of Chilean wine, owned by the biggest wine producer in Chile, Concha Y Toro. More than 100 years ago, Don Melchor de Concha y Toro founded Viña Concha y Toro. From the start, he followed the advice of French experts which allowed him to produce high quality wines. In 1987 history repeated itself. This time not only did Concha y Toro produce the finest red wine in Chile, but it also created a Chilean wine of international distinction, comparable to the world’s best wines. The Company’s agricultural and winemaking philosophy is oriented to achieving quality throughout the productive process and in enhancing the distinctive characteristics of each original vineyard. The diversity of soils and climates of its estates has allowed the Company to have the widest diversity of wine varieties in the Chilean wine industry. In addition, an intense dedication to the vineyard and permanent research has allowed the Company to determine the best terroirs for each grape variety and to produce outstanding wines with worldwide acclaim. 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.
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. 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.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. 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.
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. 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.Casillero del Diablo produces a fresh, dry, fruity sparkling wine, but the rest of the range are wines named after individual grape varieties. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put a baking tray on the top shelf to heat up. Grease 4 x 150ml ramekins with butter and dust the insides with caster sugar to coat. 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: 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.
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 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. 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! 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. 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.
