Osborne Fino Quinta Sherry

Osborne Fino Quinta is a renowned, classic, off-dry Fino Sherry with a delicate almond note. This world-famous wine owes its name to the Andalusian city of Jerez, which eventually became "Sherry" in English. The grapes grow on white limestone soils called "albarizas" in a triangle between the cities of Jerez de la Frontera, Puerto de Santa Maria, and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. After pressing and fermentation in modern stainless steel tanks, and the addition of wine alcohol to reach an alcohol content of approximately 15% ABV, the wines undergo traditional aging in 600-liter wooden casks called "butts." These casks are only two-thirds full, and a protective layer of yeast, called "flor," quickly forms on the surface of the wine. This layer protects the young wine from oxidation and is crucial for the development of the characteristic Sherry aromas. Fino Quinta is the most famous sherry from Bodegas Osborne, founded in 1772 in Puerto de Santa Maria, where the humid maritime climate, strongly influenced by the Atlantic, has a decisive impact on the development of the wines during their long aging in wooden casks. It is a fine, straw-colored, and dry sherry with a full and lingering finish. Through its aging process, it develops a floral bouquet and mineral notes. A sophisticated aperitif for connoisseurs who appreciate the exceptional.
