✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Osborne's Fine Tawny Port represents a beautiful cross-border Iberian legacy, crafted by a historic house founded in 1772 by Thomas Osborne. While famous for its Spanish sherry roots and the iconic silhouette of the Osborne Bull, the house has long maintained a dedicated presence in the historic lodges of Vila Nova de Gaia. This Fine Tawny is crafted from traditional Douro Valley grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz, grown on the steep, schistous slopes of the Douro. The wine undergoes a controlled fermentation before being fortified with grape spirit, followed by three to four years of oxidative aging in traditional oak casks. This wood contact softens the intense fruit of a young Ruby, transforming it into a lighter, amber-hued nectar with complex notes of dried fruits, warm spices, and toasted wood.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Osborne blev grundlagt i 1772 i El Puerto de Santa María af den engelske købmand Thomas Osborne Mann og er i dag et af Spaniens ældste og mest velansete vin- og spiritushuse. Gennem mere end to et halvt århundrede i familiens eje har huset opbygget et enestående renommé med rødder i den traditionelle solera-lagring i Andalusiens historiske Sherry-trekant – suppleret af enestående portvine fra Dourodalen. Osborne, der på verdensplan er kendt for sin ikoniske silhuet af den sorte tyr, nyder stor anerkendelse for sit kompromisløse kvalitetsniveau på tværs af en alsidig portefølje, anført af prestigefyldte VORS Pedro Ximénez, komplekse Oloroso-sherrier, Tawny Ports og fadlagrede Brandies de Jerez i verdensklasse.
