Mateus The Original is an iconic Portuguese rosé with a history dating back to the 1940s. Recognised the world over by its distinctive flask-shaped bottle, it remains a firm favourite for its fresh, slightly pétillant style. Light and versatile, it’s crafted from a blend of Portuguese grape varieties to deliver a consistently crisp and lively wine that’s perfect for informal moments.
Tasting notes:
Delicately pink in colour with bright, youthful hues. The nose offers fresh berry aromas with floral undertones. On the palate, it is smooth and lightly sparkling, featuring flavours of strawberry, raspberry, and a gentle citrus lift. The finish is refreshingly crisp and balanced.
Signature serve:
Serve chilled at 6–8°C in a white wine glass to enhance its fresh, effervescent character. Ideal for sunny days, picnics, and relaxed get-togethers.
Food pairings:
Pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, seafood, light pasta dishes, and appetisers such as charcuterie or marinated olives. Also an excellent match for Asian cuisine and spicy street food thanks to its subtle sweetness and freshness.
