About the brand
Produced by Concha y Toro, the brand is built on a 19th-century legend. To stop thieves from raiding his private cellar, the winery's founder, Don Melchor, spread a rumor that the Devil himself lived there. The "legend" worked, and the name stuck.
In 2026, the brand continues its heavy focus on sustainability, being a Certified B Corporation and utilizing 100% renewable energy in its Chilean operations. It is particularly well-known for its "bold" branding, featuring the iconic devil’s head embossed on the glass.
