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.

Domus Aurea Cabernet Sauvignon
Made with a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and
4% Cabernet Franc, the Domus Aurea has a dazzling ruby color
and an earthy, balsamic nose with hints of orange zest and chocolate.
Aged for 18 months in French oak and another 18 months in the
bottle, the Domus is juicy, concentrated, and balanced, with
fine, well-integrated tannins. Outstanding with grilled lamb,
mushrooms and sweet red peppers.
This vintage has already received 93 points
