Located
in the foothills of the Andes Mountain Range, Clos Quebrada
de Macul is recognized as one of the finest vineyards in the
Maipo Valley. It is here, on the gravelly slopes of a 45-acre
single-vineyard, that owners Ricardo and Isabel Pena produce
their award-winning Domus Aurea Cabernet Sauvignon. The Peña
family is committed to extremely low yields. The family’s vineyards
are divided into five blocks that follow the depth and stoniness
of the soil, which are further divided into upper, middle and
lower rows. The harvest is not determined by block or row but
vine by vine. The winery also utilizes open-top fermentation
and personalized oak aging cycles, selecting lots with the most
character to be the first wines into French barrels.

2004
Domus Aurea Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2004 vintage benefited from excellent weather conditions
and terrific, ripe fruit. The result is a blend of 86% Cabernet
Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, and 7% Cabernet Franc with a dazzling
ruby hue and a fresh, balsamic nose. This vintage has firm,
round tannins with an elegant body and complex flavors of spicy
red fruit, herbs and licorice. Outstanding with grilled poultry,
mushrooms and sweet red peppers.
Suggested Retail: $55.00
