La encina del ingles

La Encina del Inglés is a wine made from Garnacha and Syrah grapes. These grapes are born at an altitude of between 600 and 900 meters. It is a fresh and acid wine.

You can tell this while serving:  The origin of the name of this wine is due to the oaks that surround the vineyards, and to the history of Ronda, which during the 19^th Century, was an essential part of the Great South Tour of romantic English travellers. This is why this wine pretends to be a tribute to those Englishmen who, based on their love and respect for the landscapes of Ronda, gave a more universal character to this beautiful Andalusian city.

Most of the romantic travellers of the s. XIX to accede to Spain they did it through Gibraltar, for that they crossed the mountainous area of ​​Ronda to go to other points of Andalusia. According to legend, in the course of these roads and crossings they hoped to meet these half-outlaw bandits, half heroes, coming to consider as failure to finish the route without having been docked by one of them. It is José María "El Tempranillo", the prototype of a generous highwayman who robbed the rich in order to bring him to the poor, and with him the romantic era of Andalusian banditry begins.

It was a great European Route that travellers made known to the world as El Camino del Inglés, and it was here where much of the legend of the Andalusian myth was forged: the birthplace of bullfighting, the genesis of flamenco, the sanctuary of banditry, the route of smuggling and the highland of guerrilla groups and muleteers.
