Quick Facts: ABV: ~12.5%  |  Origin: Coastal Valleys, Chile  |  White Blend  |  Producer: Viña Concha y Toro

Production & Heritage

Viña Concha y Toro was founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Concha y Toro in Pirque, in the Maipo Valley south of Santiago, Chile. It has grown into one of the largest and most widely distributed wine companies in the Southern Hemisphere. The Casillero del Diablo line — named after the legendary cellar said to be guarded by the Devil himself — has become one of Chile's most globally recognized wine brands. The "Coastal" designation within the range points to grapes sourced from Chile's cool-climate coastal zones, such as the Casablanca Valley, Leyda Valley, or San Antonio Valley, where ocean breezes and morning fog moderate temperatures and help preserve natural acidity in white grape varieties.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Expect an aromatic profile driven by citrus and orchard fruit. Notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, and white peach are typical of cool-climate Chilean white blends in this style.

Taste: The palate is crisp and fruit-forward, with a clean entry of citrus and tropical fruit. Mid-palate, there is a refreshing minerality and balanced acidity that reflect the coastal growing conditions. The blend balances freshness with enough body to keep the wine from feeling thin.

Finish: The finish is clean and moderately short, with lingering citrus and a faint saline quality. A dry, refreshing close encourages another sip.

How to Drink Coastal White Blend

Serve well chilled, between 7–10°C (45–50°F), in a standard white wine glass that concentrates the aromatic profile. This is a versatile warm-weather pour that works equally well on its own or alongside food. Try it in a White Wine Spritzer for a light, effervescent afternoon drink. It can also serve as the base for a Sangría Blanca, where its fruit character melds well with fresh stone fruit and citrus. A simple Hugo Spritz — combined with elderflower syrup, prosecco, and mint — also plays well with the wine's floral-citrus personality.

Best For

• Casual weeknight dinner alongside salads, seafood, or light pasta
• Outdoor entertaining during spring and summer gatherings
• Introducing someone new to Chilean white wines
• Stocking a home bar with a dependable, food-friendly white
