✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
