Description

Casillero Del Diablo Sauvignon Blanc 75Cl

  • Cauquenes is a historic location for Chile’s winemaking tradition. Embedded in the Maule Valley, its privileged climate and clay and granite rich soils give this Cabernet Sauvignon unique structure and fresh fruit expression.
  • Colour
  • Bright, intense, violet-red.
  • Aroma
  • Expresses delicate notes of black fruits, such as plums and cherries, accompanied by a delicate touch of toast from ageing in oak barrels.
  • Palate
  • This Cabernet Sauvignon is very well structured with pronounced character, firm tannins, and an abundance of fruit, such as plums and black cherries. Pleasing toast from the oak lends greater complexity, and the finish is long and persistent.

Vinification Details

  • 80% of the grapes were machine harvested and 20% were harvested by hand. The wine was then fermented in stainless steel for 10 to 14 days. It then went on to be aged in stainless steel tanks for 8 to 10 months. It was then aged futher in 8 to 10 months in barrels. 75% in French and American oak and 25% in new oak barrels.

History

  • “More than 100 years ago, Don Melchor de Concha y Toro reserved for himself an exclusive batch of his best wines. To keep strangers away from his private reserve, he spread the rumor that the Devil lived in his cellar. Hence the name: Casillero del Diablo” (The Devil’s Cellar)

Regional Information

  • Soils rich in red clay and granite give rise to Reserva Especial in Cauquenes, 350 kilometres south of Santiago de Chile. Clay has been a key element in many creations throughout human history, and today it has an important role in making this wine. The clay-loam soils over a granitic base in our vineyards contribute structure and character to this wine.
