Isabelle and Ricardo Peña, guided by the vision of renowned winemaker Ignacio Recabarren and the support of a U.S. partner, decided to bottle their own expression of the Clos Quebrada de Macul vineyard. The result was Domus Aurea, a wine born from precision, patience and profound respect for the land.  Since its inaugural vantage in 1996, Domus Aurea has stood apart - crafted in small quantities, shaped by low yields and defined by a non-interventionist approach that lets the vineyard speak. In 2003, Jean-Pascal Lacaze joined the project, bringing a quiet intensity and deep-rooted understanding of terroir that have helped elevate Domus to international acclaim.

The first choice for the wines name was "Dominus" but of course, it was taken (as you well know). So, for the concept being about showing something proper, owned by the family and unique, "Domus Aurea" has been chosen.
