Description

Over a century has passed since Don Melchor, the winery’s founder, created a legend. When he discovered his finest Concha y Toro wines were missing, he spread the word amongst the local villagers that the devil lived in his cellar. From that day, the wine has been known as Casillero del Diablo, the devil’s cellar. And the wine thieves remain deterred.

The Casillero del Diablo Shiraz is an intense purple colour. The first layer of aromas is highlighted with black forest fruits, predominantly blackberries and wild berries. Soon after the toasted notes of the barreling reveal a greater complexity, complemented with spiced notes, principally of pepper. On the palate, the tannins are firm from the outset and the fruit is mature. The final impression is that of freshness, largely due to its particular acidity. The finish is long and mature with tannins that dry most elegantly. Hints of caramel can also be clearly felt within the flavours
