Description: 

El Nómada is a red wine from the D.O. La Rioja produced by Finca de la Rica. It is a blend of the Tempranillo (90%) and Graciano (10%) varieties. 

The grapes for El Nómada grow on calcareous clay soils and clay subsoils. The plots are located at an altitude of 610 metres. 

The vines face south, were planted in bush form and have an average age of about 60 years. The harvest takes place during the third week of October. 

The El Nómada grapes are destemmed with 25% whole grape filtration. The must is then fermented alcoholicly in stainless steel tanks and malolactically in French oak barrels. 

El Nómada is finally aged for 15 months in French oak barrels for one or two wines. Before being bottled, it is clarified with egg white. 

Finca de la Rica is one of those historic Rioja wineries of Alava winegrowers that is currently led by the fourth generation. It has 31 hectares of vineyards distributed in more than 25 plots.
