✨ Technical Specifications
Founded in 1903 by Tomás Osborne Guezala to commemorate the birth of his son, Antonio Osborne, the Solera 'AOS' is a legendary monument of Sherry history. Produced in the historic cellars of El Puerto de Santa María, this rare Amontillado is crafted from Palomino Fino grapes grown in the chalky albariza soils of Jerez Superior. It undergoes a dual aging process: first, biological aging under a veil of 'flor' yeast, followed by decades of oxidative concentration in a solera system. This creates an incredibly complex, dry wine with deep amber hues, boasting aromas of toasted hazelnuts, sea salt, old oak, and exotic spices.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1772 by English merchant Thomas Osborne Mann in El Puerto de Santa María, Osborne stands as one of the oldest and most distinguished wine and spirits houses in Spain. Over more than two and a half centuries of continuous family ownership, the producer has built a celebrated legacy rooted in traditional solera aging within the historic Sherry Triangle of Andalusia, while also expanding its craftsmanship to include exceptional Port wines from the Douro Valley. Celebrated worldwide by its iconic black bull silhouette, Osborne is renowned for its uncompromising standard of quality across an expansive portfolio, highlighted by prestigious VORS Pedro Ximénez, complex Oloroso and Tawny Ports, and world-class aged Brandies de Jerez.
