Rafael Domingo

Where It Started A formal base sits at the start of the work: Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, where Rafael Domingo studied in 2001. That date and school matter because they place the practice on an academic footing before it moves into the vineyard and cellar. Cafayate, Argentina, is the other fixed point in the record. Domingo Molina in Cafayate is where Rafael Domingo works as owner and winemaker, and the wines tied to his name come out of that house in Salta, Argentina. The place is not incidental; it is part of the structure of the craft. The arc is compact: study first, then bottles. The named wines — Martes 13, Pachamama, Leonor Molina, and Torrontés — show how that work is organized around place, collaboration, and repeated making.

Who Shaped Them Rafael Domingo’s 2001 study there gives the work a documented start point and a discipline before the cellar takes over. Pachamama records a shared making. Rafael Domingo works on that wine with Roberto Cipresso, and the pairing is visible in the bottle itself: another named hand enters the process, and the wine carries that collaboration. Martes 13 stands as a named marker in the portfolio. For Rafael Domingo, it reads as a wine with its own origin thread, a title that holds meaning beyond a simple label. Leonor Molina adds a dated point within the Domingo Molina line. The 2018 Domingo Molina Leonor Molina ties the work to Cafayate, Salta, Argentina, and gives a specific bottle, year, and name already in circulation.

The Work Today

The current role is direct: owner and winemaker at Domingo Molina in Cafayate, Argentina. That combination puts Rafael Domingo on both sides of the work, where ownership and production sit in the same house. The wines map the practice through their names. Martes 13 carries the origin thread; Pachamama includes Roberto Cipresso in the making; the 2018 Domingo Molina Leonor Molina anchors the line in a specific vintage from Cafayate, Salta, Argentina; and the 2024 Domingo Molina Torrontés adds another recent expression from the same place. Taken together, those bottles read as a compact family of work: study, collaboration, place, and repetition under the Domingo Molina name.
