José Maria da Fonseca “Periquita Clássico” Red Blend (Setúbal DOC)
“Periquita” is one of Portugal’s most historic wines, first produced in the 19th century by José Maria da Fonseca. This classic bottling comes from vineyards in the Setúbal Peninsula south of Lisbon.
The wine blends traditional Portuguese varieties including Castelão, Trincadeira, and Aragonez. The warm coastal climate produces ripe fruit while gentle oak aging adds spice and structure. The result is a smooth, easy-drinking red with vibrant fruit and a touch of rustic charm.
