Mateus Rosé 75cl
★★★★★ 5.0 (2 reviews)You know this bottle before you know the wine. That curvy flask shape has been turning up at parties since your gran's day, and what's inside still slaps: pale pink, juicy with strawberry and raspberry, and just a little fizz on the tongue that makes the first sip feel like a celebration. It's off-dry, which is a fancy way of saying barely sweet, easy to love, and never too much. Crack it cold tonight and watch the whole room ask for a glass.
Bright pink in the glass with a fresh, perfumed nose of red berries. Think ripe strawberry and raspberry with a little floral lift, like rose petals, and a squeeze of citrus keeping it lively. On the palate it's soft and rounded, just a touch sweet, with a gentle spritz that tickles before a clean, refreshing finish. Light on its feet at 11%, so it goes down dangerously easy. Not a brooding, serious wine, and that's exactly the point.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Mateus comes from Portugal, made by Sogrape, one of the country's biggest and most respected wine families. It's named after the grand Mateus Palace near Vila Real in the north, which is the baroque mansion you'll spot pictured on the label. It's built from Portuguese red grapes pressed quickly off their skins to keep that pale pink colour, then fermented cool and slow to lock in all the fresh fruit. Over 80 years on, it's still one of the most recognised rosés on the planet.
