Mateus The Original Rose wine is a light, fresh, young and slightly sparkling wine. Its quality, extreme versatility and consistent style make it the ideal wine to accompany life’s fine moments. It is a rose with a very appealing and bright hue. On the whole, it is a fresh and seductive wine with fine and intense bouquet and all the joviality of young wines. In the mouth, it is a well balanced and tempting wine, brilliantly complemented by a soft and slightly fizzy finish. Vinification follows the traditional method for white wines and fermentation is carried out slowly, with no skins, in stainless steel vats at16 degree 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. Mateus should be served chilled in a flute or in a tulip-shaped red-wine glass. It is ideal as an aperitif, to accompany a refreshing moment in the day. Mateus also goes very well with light meals, several types of fish and seafood, white meat, grilled dishes and salads. Its unique characteristics make it also ideal with pasta and other Italian cuisine and to accompany magnificently several styles of oriental cuisine – Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Thai. It contains 11% alcohol by volume.
