For those unable to visit the space, ODE wines are available online through the ODE Shop, where it is also possible to purchase special discounted packs and benefit from exclusive advantages for members of the ODE Wine Club.

Throughout the year, the project will continue to promote wine dinners, events in partnership with local and wine projects, as well as the usual seasonal ODE Markets, with the aim of energizing the region and presenting new proposals.

José Maria da Fonseca suggests Periquita Tinto 2024 for a romantic dinner

13/02/2026To celebrate Valentine's Day, José Maria da Fonseca suggests Periquita Tinto 2024, a classic wine from the Setúbal region that combines elegance and versatility at the table, designed for moments of sharing

José Maria da Fonseca toasts to love on Valentine’s Day, a date that invites simple yet meaningful gestures, such as a special dinner shared by two. The choice falls on a wine that complements the moment without being overpowering, valuing the time, the conversation, and the symbolism of the occasion.

Produced in the Setúbal region, Periquita is an unmissable reference in Portuguese wine culture, with over 175 years of history. Throughout generations, it has maintained an accessible and elegant profile, deeply connected to the table, which has allowed it to win over consumers in Portugal and international markets.

The 2024 vintage is the result of a balanced blend of Castelão, Trincadeira, and Alicante Bouschet grapes. The winemaking process, conducted with rigorous temperature control and complemented by a brief aging in wood, aimed to preserve the fruit’s expression and ensure a harmonious and easy-to-appreciate wine.

In the glass, the Periquita Tinto 2024 presents a vibrant and appealing ruby ​​color. The aromatic profile is dominated by notes of ripe red and black fruit, such as blackberry and plum. On the palate, it reveals itself to be balanced, with smooth tannins, good freshness and a pleasant finish, inviting you to linger over the meal and conversation without haste.
At the table, it is recommended to serve it between 14ºC and 16ºC. Its versatility allows it to naturally accompany grilled or stewed meats, Mediterranean-inspired dishes, pasta with rich sauces, and medium-intensity cheeses, adapting to both more elaborate recipes and simpler dishes.

Periquita Tinto 2024 establishes itself as a safe choice and a wine that naturally integrates into moments you want to cherish, whether as a gift, to share, or to toast, in keeping with the spirit of Valentine’s Day.
