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.

Opaque ebony. On the nose, toffee, maple, molasses, balsamic, dried fig, black loam, and dark chocolate. On the palate, impressively dense and concentrated, with lasting sweetness. Chocolate, figs, balsamic vinegar, cappuccino, and toffee flavors swirl and shift on the palate, with an almost boundless finish.

"The NV Rare Sherry Pedro Ximenez VORS, produced from Pedro Ximenez grapes and aged for an average of over 30 years in a solera, is very dark, opaque mahogany-colored. The overall feeling is that of a very old wine (most probably exceeding the required age for the VORS category). It displays a complex nose of subtle noble wood aromas, complemented by Belgian chocolate, balsamic notes, roasted coffee and dates. It has a very spicy palate, and is full and concentrated.
