Founded in 1772, in El Puerto de Santa Maria (Cadiz), Bodegas Osborne is one of Spain's most distinguished wine and sherry producers and one of the oldest family-owned businesses in the world. Since those early years, Osborne has remained in family hands. Today, Mr. Tomás Osborne Gamero-Cívico, the fifth Count of Osborne, directs the company as Chairman of the Board of Directors. They place an extremely high value on quality and consistency to offer consumers exceptional wines with equally attractive pricing.

Osborne owns nearly 400 hectares, much in the Balbaina district of Jerez Superior, and fairly recently acquired the old Domecq VORS soleras. Their vast company portfolio also encompasses the well reputed Bodegas Montecillo wines from Rioja, Solaz wines from Tierra de Castilla and Dominio de Malpica wines also from Tierra de Castilla. Brandy, port and other distinguished spirits as well as delicious Iberian pork products, bottled water and TOROXL energy drinks, round out the comprehensive portfolio. Really, Osborne is more of an empire than a company.

A bright, dark mahogany-colored wine, it originates from a solera created in 1903 and averages 25 years of age. The complex nose is one of a kind, with strong aromatics, rosemary and thyme covering the roasted hazelnuts, bitter oranges, noble woods and curry. The medium- to full-bodied palate shows a very spicy, smoky wine with hints of coffee, layered, intense, more subtle than in your face and very complex.
