Periquita Reserva Red 1.5L

Periquita Reserva is a blend between the true tradition of Periquita and a vision for the future. The history of Periquita dates back to the beginning of José Maria da Fonseca's own history, when the company's founder, Mr. José Maria da Fonseca, purchased, around 1846, the Cova da Periquita property. It was on this property, nowadays almost swallowed up by urban development, that José Maria da Fonseca planted the first grapes of the Castelão variety, which he himself had brought from the province of Ribatejo. 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 sticks of that variety to plant on 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.
