Wildly adore old land of gold? (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

el dorado

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'land of gold?' is the definition.
'el dorado' can be an answer for 'land' (I have seen 'land of riches' mean 'el dorado' so perhaps 'land' could also mean 'el dorado'). I'm unsure of the 'of gold?' bit.

'wildly adore old' is the wordplay.
'wildly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'adore'+'old'='adoreold'
'adoreold' is an anagram of 'EL DORADO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for el dorado that I've seen before include "Lead door (anag) - the land of gold!" , "'Imaginary place of great wealth and opportunity (2,6)'" , "Fantasy location" , "Mythical city of gold" , "Fabled golden city" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
