Tempranillo
Description
Tempranillo
Wine of Spain
Winemaker's Notes
A rich Tempranillo, distinguished by its deep cherry colour and subtle violet hues. Elegant on the nose, with aromas of wild strawberries, fresh plums, violets and spicy touches of green pepper and gentle oak. These follow through elegantly to the palate with fresh acidity, smooth tannins and a long, balanced finish.
"More than 130 years ago, Don Melchor de Concha y Cara reserved for himself an exclusive batch of his best wines. To keep strangers away, he spread the rumour that the Devil lived in his cellar.
Hence the Name: Casillero del Diablo"

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 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.
Vinification: A sophisticated wine that delivers the smooth drinking experience you know and love from Casillero del Diablo. Made with Tempranillo grapes from Cariñena in Northern Spain.
