Curiosities
MATEUS origins date back to 1942, when Fernando Van Zeller Guedes, founder of the company, had this idea of creating a wine with a strong personality and unique flavour, presented in an original and innovative bottle inspired by the flask bottles of the soldiers in World War I. This original combination and quality of the wine made it a case of success and MATEUS grew to become a global brand, present in more than 125 countries, with well above 1 billion bottles sold in 60 years of continuous career. Its unique bottle is a true design icon, recently rejuvenated to best capture the timeless values of this unique and innovative brand.
Varieties & Winemaking
MATEUS ROSÉ ARAGONÊS is produced exclusively from the Aragonês (Tinta Roriz) grape variety, one of the Portuguese noble varieties; using the most advanced technology. The grapes were softly crushed and pressed, allowing the extraction and selection of a slightly pink coloured must, which is then followed by the alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 14-16ºC.
