Winemaker Notes

The Amontillado AOS refers to “Antonio Osborne Solera,” the son of Tomas Osborne Guezala, the 2nd Conde de Osborne. The solera was set to celebrate Antonio’s birth in 1903, and not run until his 21st birthday.This Amontillado is part of the personal stores of the Osborne family, until very recently not made commercially available. 25 years average age at bottling from 3 different criaderas. Miniscule amounts are bottled, and fewer every year because of the shrinking solera that feeds it.100% Palomino. Vines tended in Albariza soil at 70 m (230 ft) elevation from the Balbaina pago.25 years of age at bottling (average) from 3 criaderas founded in 1903.PRODUCTION: 541 bottlesTASTING NOTES: A bright, dark mahogany-colored wine, it originates from a solera created in 1903 and averages 25 years of age. The complex nose is one of a kind, with strong aromatics, rosemary and thyme covering the roasted hazelnuts, bitter oranges, noble woods and curry. The medium- to full-bodied palate shows a very spicy, smoky wine with hints of coffee, layered, intense, more subtle than in your face and very complex.

Sherry is a fortified wine that comes in many styles from dry to sweet. True Sherry can only be made in Andalucía, Spain where the soil and unique seasonal changes give a particular character to its wines. The process of production—not really the grape—determine the type, though certain types are reserved for certain grapes. Palomino is responsible for most dry styles; Pedro Ximénez and Muscat of Alexandria are used for blending or for sweet styles.
