 VINTAGE INFORMATION  



HISTORY

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.
