NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
José Maria da Fonseca Periquita Reserva is a renowned Portuguese red wine that showcases the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the winery.This wine is made from a blend of traditional grape varieties, including Castelão, Touriga Nacional, and Touriga Franca. In the glass, Periquita Reserva displays a deep ruby color with garnet reflections, indicating its maturity. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe black fruits, such as blackberry and plum, accompanied by subtle hints of spice, tobacco, and vanilla. These complex aromas create an inviting and sophisticated olfactory experience. On the palate, this wine reveals a harmonious balance between its fruit-forward character and well-integrated oak influence. The ripe black fruits continue to shine, accompanied by notes of dark chocolate and a touch of smokiness. The tannins are firm yet velvety, providing structure and a pleasant mouthfeel. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression. José Maria da Fonseca Periquita Reserva is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has the potential to age gracefully. It pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes such as roasted meats, game, or aged cheeses. Serve it at a slightly cooler temperature to fully appreciate its complexity and elegance.
