Periquita wine is known as the first red wine bottled in Portugal. This innovation reflects its originality and the reflection of Portugality arises from its presence at the table of the Portuguese – of all of us – since 1850. Ours, the Portuguese lifestyle!
The wine produced in Cova da Periquita soon proved to be the best in the region, leading other owners to ask José Maria da Fonseca for plants of that variety for their own properties. In this way, the wine became known in Azeitão as Periquita wine, starting to be marketed by José Maria da Fonseca as Periquita.
