✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted from 100% Pedro Ximénez grapes, Osborne's 'Venerable' is a legendary VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) with its solera system established in 1902. The journey begins with the 'soleo' process, where the harvested grapes are sun-dried on straw mats under the intense Andalusian sun to concentrate their sugars. After fortification, the wine enters a historic solera system in El Puerto de Santa María, where it undergoes oxidative aging for an average of over thirty years. This slow, decades-long evaporation creates an incredibly dark, viscous nectar of astonishing complexity. The heritage of the Osborne bull and the centuries-old cellars of Marco de Jerez are encapsulated in this bottle, offering deep aromas of dried figs, raisins, dark chocolate, and exotic spices.
