Leyenda is the iconic wine of Casillero del Diablo, a brand that is part of the most emblematic wines of the Concha y Toro vineyard. The roots of Leyenda stretch to Pirque, in the heart of the Maipo Valley, where the famous legend of Casillero del Diablo began more than 130 years ago. Two-decade-old vines grow on those stony soils, which every year in mid-April yield high quality Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. These are harvested manually to ensure their total integrity each season.
