Caprasia in Iberian means "land of goats". The Caprasia brand is a tribute to a time when wild goats lived in the countryside and the indigenous people of the Iberian Peninsula practiced winemaking between the Sierra Cabrillas and the Cabriel mountain ranges. Caprasia wines come from the Finca Alfaro estate in the Utiel-Requena area. This appellation is located 70 to 90 kilometres inland from the Mediterranean Sea and represents an ideal habitat for the vine thanks to the diversity of soils and habitat orientation and the high altitude.

Vinification. The grapes are destemmed and then taken to the winery for nuematic pressing to obtain virgin must, which is then clarified by cooling. Fermentation takes place for approximately 25 days at a temperature of 14-16 °C in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats.  The blending of the two varieties produces the basic coupage, liqueur de tirage, followed by a second fermentation and maturation in bottle for a minimum of 18 months. The Reserva category is obtained. Finally, the yeast is removed and the cork is inserted with a wire cage. Without the addition of sugar, the Cava is classified as Brut Nature.
