WINE DESCRIPTION

Casillero del Diablo Viognier (Reserva) is a fruit-forward white wine produced by the renowned Chilean winery, Casillero del Diablo. This wine is made from Viognier grapes grown in the Casablanca Valley, a region known for its cool climate and unique soil composition. The vineyard's proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains creates ideal growing conditions for the grapes, resulting in a wine with a distinct minerality and crisp acidity. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a vibrant and aromatic white with notes of peach, apricot, and citrus, making it a perfect pairing for seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Casillero del Diablo

Region: Casablanca Valley

Situated in the Central Valley of Chile, the Casablanca Valley is a relatively young wine region that has quickly become one of the country's most important wine-producing areas. The Casablanca Valley was first planted with vines in the late 1980s, making it one of the youngest wine regions in Chile. The region was initially planted with Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, but in recent years, winemakers have begun to experiment with other varieties such as Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Carmenere. The region has quickly become known for its high-quality wines, and it is now one of the most important wine-producing areas in Chile.
