Periquita Reserva represents a modern expression of one of Portugal’s most historic wine families, crafted by José Maria da Fonseca. Produced in the sun-drenched vineyards of the Setúbal Peninsula, this wine builds on the legacy of the Periquita name—Portugal’s first ever bottled red wine—while showcasing a more refined and structured style.

Sourced primarily from Castelão, Touriga Nacional, and Touriga Franca, the vineyards benefit from sandy and limestone-rich soils, along with a warm Mediterranean climate moderated by Atlantic breezes. These conditions allow the grapes to achieve full ripeness while maintaining freshness and aromatic lift.

In the cellar, careful vinification preserves the fruit’s character, with fermentation under controlled temperatures followed by aging in oak barrels. This maturation adds complexity, structure, and subtle spice, enhancing the wine’s balance between fruit and oak influence.

Periquita Reserva (PRV) opens with inviting aromas of ripe red and black fruits layered with hints of spice and toasted oak. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious blend of fruit intensity and structure, leading into a smooth, well-rounded finish.
