General Information
Fino Quinta is the flagship sherry of Bodegas Osborne, a wine with a classic and balanced profile. Made entirely from the palomino variety; grapes that, once carefully harvested, are taken to the winery in boxes to avoid aromatic loss. Subsequently, a gentle pressing and a must settling for 12 hours are carried out, followed by an alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature (25ºC). Finally, the wine ages for 4 years according to the traditional solera and criaderas system, in American oak casks.
Bodegas Osborne began its journey at the end of the 18th century, when a young English merchant named Thomas Osborne Mann arrived at Puerto de Santa María, in Cádiz, to buy and sell wines from the area. The winery founded in 1772 is, to this day, one of our most important international firms. Currently, the winery markets wines from the best areas of Spain, including Jerez, Oporto, Rioja, Rueda, and Ribera del Duero.
This pale and luminous yellow fino is part of the D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry. An ideal wine to accompany all kinds of appetizers, cured cheeses, olives, almonds, all kinds of fish, and seafood.

The winery
Winery
With 250 years of history, Bodegas Osborne is one of the most important wine sector business groups in Spain and is internationally recognized for producing high-quality wines. The origins of Osborne date back to the late 18th century (1772), when a young English merchant, Thomas Osborne Mann, arrived in the Cádiz region to trade the finest wines of the area.
Thomas Osborne, originally from Exeter (England), decided to settle in El Puerto de Santa María, where he acquired several wineries to trade Jerez wines. Today, the headquarters of this great business group, which enjoys great fame and international recognition, is located in this Cádiz town. In fact, the group is among the 100 oldest active family businesses in the world.
Generation after generation, the group has demonstrated that its work is synonymous with quality and prestige. It has successfully combined family tradition with technological innovation to produce outstanding and diverse wines.
In its business portfolio, Bodegas Osborne markets wines from the most prestigious regions of the Iberian Peninsula, including Jerez, Oporto, Rioja, Rueda, and Ribera del Duero.
The winery houses the largest selection of old wines from the Marco de Jerez, renowned as VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) by the Regulatory Council of the Denomination of Origin.
Additionally, in its own wineries, it produces finos, manzanillas, amontillados, olorosos, and sweet wines, all crafted under the D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry and Manzanilla Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
Another highlight is the 1973 acquisition of Bodegas Montecillo, the third-oldest winery in the renowned Rioja region. Similarly, it operates in the areas of Malpica de Tajo and Cádiz under the geographical indications of Vinos de la Tierra de Castilla and Vinos de la Tierra de Cádiz.
But Osborne's empire is not limited to wine. In the 1960s, the advertising campaign for Brandy Veterano became iconic, featuring large roadside billboards across Spain with the now-famous silhouette of the great
