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 rumour that the Devil lived in his cellar. Hence the name: Casillero del Diablo (The Devil’s Cellar)
Regional Information
Our vineyards are located at relatively high altitudes (400-800m), scattered along the plains of the Ebro River. The region’s continental climate experiences extreme seasonal and daily temperature variations, while a cold northerly wind helps moderate summer temperatures and keep humidity low, assisting in imparting characteristic intensity to the grapes.
