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, its clay soils are made up of sandstone, gravel and pebbles. All the Bobal is planted in a traditional bush style and the Merlot is planted on trellises, right next to the winery.

ELABORATION
The grape varieties are vinified separately, depending on the optimum degree of ripeness. The grapes arrive at the winery and are destemmed and pressed directly to obtain the aromas and pale pink colour for subsequent fermentation in stainless steel tanks at temperatures between 14º and 16º for approximately 25 days, leaving the wine in contact with its lees until its subsequent clarification, filtration and bottling.

TASTING NOTES
Bright, pale salmon pink, the result of minimal colour extraction without maceration of the skin. Notes of wild strawberries mixed with nuances of very fresh fruit, as well as hints of spices. Long and persistent finish, velvety texture, balanced with a pleasant acidity.
