Concha y Toro Casillero del Diablo Pinot Noir 2022

Concha y Toro Casillero del Diablo Pinot Noir brings a bright, easy-going take on Chilean Pinot Noir, led by strawberry and raspberry fruit with a subtle cedar edge. Lively acidity keeps the palate fresh, while soft tannins and a smooth berry finish make it uncomplicated in the best possible way. Part of Concha y Toro's enduring Casillero del Diablo Reserva range, it offers polished, crowd-friendly drinking without demanding a special occasion. Serve it lightly cool with grilled salmon, roast chicken, mushroom pasta or a cheeseboard, and keep a second bottle nearby when dinner stretches into another round.

What the winery says:

Casillero del Diablo describes the wine as fresh, with strawberry, raspberry and a delicate touch of cedar. The palate combines lively acidity with wild berry flavours. The fruit is grown in Chile in a coastal, semi-arid climate on colluvial soils associated with riverbank areas. The winery recommends serving it at 14 to 16°C and pairing it with oily fish, Italian dishes and a range of cheeses.
