Osborne Sherry Appraisal

Osborne Pedro Ximenez Sherry

This is a bottle of Osborne Pedro Ximenez 'Very Sweet' Sherry, produced under the Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Denomination of Origin in Spain. The bottle is made of dark green-tinted glass and features the iconic black Osborne bull silhouette at the top of the main cream-colored label. The label text is printed in a combination of black, gold-bordered, and script fonts. Key markings include 'Fundacion 1827 Solera', indicating the age of the solera system used for aging, and the manufacturer name 'Osborne' in a bold, stylized typeface. The lower portion of the label bears an official crest and the text 'Casa Fundada en 1772', referencing the producer's long historical lineage. The alcohol content is visible as 15% Vol. Physically, the bottle appears to be in good condition with no visible chips or cracks in the glass, and the label is intact without significant scuffing, tearing, or foxing. Pedro Ximenez is a premium dessert wine style known for its high residual sugar and deep mahogany color. The presence of the Osborne brand suggests a high-quality production under one of Spain's most famous and historic sherry houses. This specific labeling style is contemporary, likely produced within the last 10 to 20 years, maintaining the traditional craftsmanship associated with the solera aging method.
