Carlos belongs to the Osborne Group, one of the oldest and most prestigious producers of wine and spirits in Spain. Founded in 1772, by Thomas Osborne, the company has been producing, selecting, and improving a truly renowned and authentic product for more than two centuries. As early as the 16th century, winemakers and their acquaintances in the Jerez area were drinking aged grape spirits, but it was not until the mid-19th century that it began to be sold commercially in significant volumes.
