CHILEChile is a long thin sliver of land on the West Coast of South America. It shares a border with Argentina, Bolivia and Peru and faces out to the Pacific Ocean. It is approximately 3,000 miles long and never more than 220 miles wide. It’s mainly of Mediterranean climate with rains concentrated in winter and spring, and a long dry season through autumn.Chile’s geographic position gives rise to unique and diverse geology that has made it renowned for wine production. The Atacama Desert to the north, the Andes Mountains to the east, the Patagonian ice fields to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west make Chile a veritable agricultural island. Together they help maintain healthy conditions and protect vineyards against pests and disease.*The Chilean landscape also offers a vast mosaic of terroirs and soil types. Soils are healthy, well-drained, and have a variety of origins (alluvial, col-luvial, fluvial, etc.) and textures (loam, clay, sand, silt). The interaction between the effects of the sea and those of the Andes result in a growing season that revels in bright sunny days and temperatures that take a dramatic dip each night to create the broad daily temperature oscillation that wine grapes need to develop fresh fruit flavors, crisp acidity, and in the case of red wines, ripe tannins, deep color, and high levels of antioxidants and flavonols.*

CHILEAN WINE LAWS• D.O. (Denomination of Origin) defines regions, sub-regions, zones and areas and only establishes the grapes’ origin. • Only approved grape varieties may be planted. Hybrid grapes are strictly forbidden. • 75% of wine must be from geographic area when using a denomination of origin. • Estate bottled may only be used when the winery and vineyards are located in the same geographic area within the D.O. • D.O. wines may use the terms Gran Reserva, Gran Vino, Reserva, Reserva Especial, Reserva Privada, Seleccion and Superior. These words do not have a specific definition and may be used with a different meaning in each winery.

WINE FACTS• The main wine regions of Chile follow the valleys of rivers running down from the Andes to the Pa-cific Ocean, transecting the 625 mile Central Valley • Grapes originally planted by the Conquistadors • Phylloxera – free• Some of the largest organic vineyards in the world• Chile’s premium wine growing regions are located between the 30 & 40 latitudes (Napa Valley is 36)• Soils differentiate between appellations and range from sea sand to volcanic rock• Rated among the finest in the world

marCElo PaPa–WinEmakEr for CasillEro dEl diablo and marquEs dE Casa ConCha

For the past 10 years, Marcelo Papa has been responsible for

crafting some of Chile’s best known and most popular wines – Concha y Toro’s immensely successful and internationally acclaimed Casillero del Diablo range. As with a number of Chile’s top winemakers, Papa earned a degree in agriculture and a post-graduate degree in enology from the highly regarded Catholic University in Santiago. He was subsequently recruited by Kendall– Jackson, where he spent the next five years before joining Concha y Toro in 1998. In 1999, a year after working on his first vintage of Casillero del Diablo wines, Papa was given the additional assignment of working on Concha y Toro’s prestigious Marques de Casa Concha wines, and named chief wine-maker of Concha y Toro’s Puente Alto cellar. Under his direction, Marques de Casa Concha wines have earned some of the most vaunted accolades in Chilean winemaking. The 2002 edition of the Chilean Wine Guide hailed Papa’s Marques de Casa Concha Cabernet Sauvignon as “Best Wine of its Class,” while in the U.S. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast magazines each named it among their “Top 100 Wines of 2002.” Wine Spectator then went on to recognize Papa’s Marques de Casa Con-cha Merlot as one of its “Top 100 Wines of 2003.” In 2005 Papa captured Chile’s highest honor, when the Chilean Wine Guide distinguished him as its “Winemaker of the Year,” with a special tribute to his remarkable work on the Casillero del Diablo range, referencing Papa’s capacity to “create excep-tional wines that are widely available in the market-place, yet achieve extraordinary levels of quality in spite of large production levels.”

MANCHESTER UNITED SUMMARY

CASILLERO DEL DIABLO

In the closing years of the 19th century Don Melchor de Concha y Toro discovered that his most treasured wines had been pilfered from the “casillero” (cellar) beneath his family home. To discourage further theft, the enterprising Don spread a rumor that his deepest, darkest cellars were haunted by the devil. Today, the original Concha y Toro family estate, complete with its Devil’s Cellar, is Chile’s leading tourist destination!

The wines may have been stored in hell, but they are made in heaven. With its steady sun-shine, cooling winds and pestilence-free vine-yards, Chile is a winemaker’s dream. Add to this a winemaking tradition based on French grape varieties and winemaking techniques, and you have a winning combination. High quality wines can be made inexpensively, which Con-cha y Toro successfully demonstrated with the release of its Casillero el Diablo wines in 1953.

Today Casillero del Diablo is a worldwide standard-bearer for premium quality Chilean wines – and the Legend of the Devil’s Cellar lives on!

Casillero del Diablo ReservaSauvignon Blanc Production Area: Chile. Grape Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Description: Casillero del Diablo Reserva Sauvignon

Blanc is the color of straw with green hues. The aromas are fresh and attractive with hints of citrus, peaches and gooseberry. On the palate, the wine is elegant, round, and mouthfilling. The wine is also balanced with attractive, crisp acidity.

Casillero del Diablo offers wine lovers the very special oppor-tunity to participate in the propagation of a century old legend known throughout the world. In the 19th century, the founder of Concha y Toro, Don Melchor, discovered that his vineyard workers were sampling his greatest wines. To discourage this ac-tion, Melchor spread the rumor that his deepest, darkest cellar was the Casillero del Diablo (Cellar of the Devil), so that no one would dare go in there. It worked, and a legend was born. Today this mysterious and legendary cellar continues to hold the finest wines of Casillero del Diablo.

Casillero del Diablo Reserva Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect accompaniment to seafood, fresh fish, clams and oysters onthe half-shell.
