Casillero del Diablo is a wine label of Concha y Toro, one of the oldest wineries in Chile. It is Concha's varietal series: wines made from one grape variety. Marcelo Papa is the proud winemaker of the Casillero wines. Papa: 'In every Casillero you can taste the characteristics of the grape, accompanied by our Casillero sauce. Because we have vineyards in three different climate areas, we can compose the wine in such a way that it tastes the same year after year. So you know exactly what you get when you buy Casillero del Diablo.' The name, devil's cellar, refers to a story from the past. To prevent theft, it was said that the devil lived in a certain cellar. Concha's finest wines were located there. Thieves did not mind entering the 'Casillero del Diablo'.
