Osborne

El Puerto de Santa María, 17th October 2017 Bodegas Osborne has achieved the highest recognition at the International Wine Challenge Merchant Awards. At these international awards, the shop at Bodega de Mora winery, in El Puerto de Santa Maria, was awarded the ‘Best Winery Shop’ prize. The award ceremony took place last night during a gala dinner at the Palacio de las Alhajas, with more than 200 participants in the 15 different competition categories.

International Wine Challenge (IWC) boasts more than three decades of history in the UK and has achieved great prestige among producers and experts from all over the world. The recognition of the winners helps the wineries in terms of their local and international marketing efforts and has a very positive impact on the positioning of brands amongst experts and consumers.

El Puerto de Santa María, 27th September 2017. The Osborne Foundation is holding a design competition to pay homage, on its 60th anniversary, to one of the most outstanding icons in the history of graphic design: the Toro de Osborne. The Foundation has proposed that design school students throughout Spain should reinterpret the well-known figure.

The competition is being held in collaboration with the Spanish Network of Design Associations (READ) and has an exceptional organizer: Emilio Gil, Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts in 2015. The competition is aimed at more than 130 Spanish Design Schools and Faculties, whose students will have until 31 October to submit their work. The jury will subsequently study and evaluate all the proposals, and will announce the winner on 20 November.

El Puerto de Santa María, 14th September 2017. Nordés, the authentic Atlantic Galician Gin, which continues to win over consumers with its fresh and aromatic nature, has been awarded a double gold medal at the prestigious China Wines and Spirits Awards.

CSWA is the largest wine and spirit competition in Hong Kong and China and one of the most influential awards at an international level. In fact, this year it has achieved a new record in terms of entries, showcasing more than 5000 products from all over the world.

The double gold medal is one of the most important awards given out by the jury, just behind the grand trophy which, this year, did not go to any brand in the gin category.

El Puerto de Santa María, 27th July, 2017. The Osborne Foundation is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its Toro alongside Spain's motorways. To commemorate this day, the Toro de Osborne has a new "motorway eco-board" in El Puerto de Santa María, its home town. This new board will shine with its own light to raise citizens' awareness of the importance of recycling glass. The board has the same characteristics as the other motorway boards -14 metres high and weighing 4,000 kilos- but it includes a new feature that rejuvenates it, as it is made from 300kg of glass recycled by the town's citizens, thanks to the participation of Ecovidrio.

Chairman of the Osborne Foundation, Tomás Osborne, pointed out that: "The Toro de Osborne celebrated its fiftieth anniversary with a charity element. Now it is celebrating its sixtieth with the promotion of sustainability. Without doubt, our motorway boards are a contemporary symbol that changes with the times".
