20000 Leguas, Amber (Orange) Wine
TASTING NOTES Amber color, aromas of tropical fruit, hazelnut, apple and dried orange rind on the nose. Well-structured with sweet and soft tannins and good acidity. SOIL In the province of Cuenca near central Spain, our vineyard is located in an area where wine culture has been around for decades. It sits in an altitude of 800 meters above sea level. The continental mediterranean climate of this territory brings plenty of sunlight to the vineyard, and the clay soil retains water, essential for the health of the vines.
