ABOUT THIS WINE
The Casillero del Diablo Devil's Carnaval Chardonnay is a white wine from Chile, produced by Viña Maipo SpA, a winery with roots dating back to 1948 and part of the larger Concha y Toro group. The wine draws its name from the 'Casillero del Diablo' legend, a story of a haunted cellar created to protect wine. The 'Devil's Carnaval' designation implies a special, perhaps more festive, bottling within this well-known range.
