For the ancient Iberians, Caprasia meant “land of goats”. The Caprasia brand pays homage to a time when mountain goats inhabited the area and the Iberians practiced viticulture between the Sierra Cabrillas mountains and the Cabriel River. Our Caprasia wines come from the Alfaro Estate, in the Utiel-Requena wine-growing region. It is located 70 kilometres from the Mediterranean, in an ideal location for vines due to the diversity of its soils and orientations, as well as its elevation of up to 900 metres above sea level.

VINEYARDS
Located at an altitude of 680 metres in the Vega del Río Magro. The clay soils are composed of sandstone, gravel and pebbles. The Chardonnay and Macabeo are planted on trellises, right next to the winery.

ELABORATION
The grape varieties are vinified separately, depending on the optimum degree of ripeness, to be destemmed and pressed directly, obtaining the flower must, which once clarified, by applying cold, proceeds to fermentation in stainless steel tanks, at temperatures between 14º -16º for approximately 25 days, leaving the Macabeo wine in contact with its lees for a few days to join with the Chardonnay, which has remained in new French oak barrels for 4 months.

TASTING NOTES
Bright, straw-yellow in colour. Pronounced aromatic intensity with notes of tropical fruit, white flowers and subtle, smoky complexity typical of the well-integrated barrel. Smooth, silky, with refreshing acidity and good length.
