I have a copy of an advert in a Spanish newspaper from 1917 in which the wines of Osborne are listed. Paxarete was 2,75 peseta, the same as a bottle of Pedro Ximenez or Moscatel.

In the 18th Century, Paxarete was a wine made with grapes from one single vineyard called Paxarete in the mountains around Cádiz. Later it became the name of a wine style produced in different locations in the South of Spain.
