Mateus Original Rosé NV 750mL | Portugal

Winemaking Notes

The fruit varieties that make up the Mateus Rosé are Baga, Rufete, Tinta Barroca and Touriga Franca. Vinification follows the traditional method for white wines and fermentation is carried out slowly, with no skins, in stainless steel vats at 16°C controlled temperature. Fining is followed by cold-stabilisation, after which the wine is filtered and bottled. The whole process is done with extreme care, so as consistently to ensure Mateus' unique style, colour and freshness. This careful winemaking approach focuses on creating a fresh and seductive wine with fine and intense bouquet, well balanced palate and soft, slightly fizzy finish that makes Mateus Original Rosé unapologetically unique and perfect for enjoying with your favourite people.
