Periquita Special Reserve

Periquita is renowned for being the first commerically sold Portuguese red wine.The history of Periquita is interwoven with the story of José Maria da Fonseca itself, beginning in the 1820s when the founding father of the company, José Maria da Fonseca arrived in Lisbon and bought several local properties. One such purchase, most probably in 1846, was Cova da Periquita. It was on that property that José Maria da Fonseca planted red grapes of the grape Castelão variety, which he brought most probably from the province of Ribatejo.
