Periquita Clássico Red Wine

PERIQUITA CLÁSSICO 2014

RED WINE
V.R. PENÍNSULA DE SETÚBAL

Periquita is renowned for being Portugal's first ever bottled red wine. Being produced since 1850, Periquita has been a true ambassador of the Portuguese lifestyle and culture.

Produced only in years of exceptional quality, Periquita Clássico is a selection of the best wines from the Castelão grape variety.

With the Periquita Clássico, we try to replicate the style of the old Periquita wines, from fifty years ago, when the grapes were fermented with the stems and the vinification temperature had little control.

This wine was aged in used wooden vats for 24 months. Until today, the Periquita Clássico was produced in the 1992, 1994, 1995, 1999, 2001 and 2004 vintages. Currently, we are bringing back this wine style and this brand with the 2014 vintage.
