Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Mateus Dry Rosé 750ml greets you with a crisp, refreshing character that makes it perfect for lively gatherings or relaxed afternoons. With an ABV of 12%, this Portuguese rosé is crafted using a blend of native grape varieties, including Baga, Rufete, Tinta Barroca, and Touriga Franca. Its light body and gentle effervescence offer an easy-drinking experience that appeals to both casual sippers and wine enthusiasts alike.

On the palate, Mateus Dry Rosé reveals delicate notes of red berries like strawberry and raspberry, balanced by subtle floral hints and a clean mineral finish. This vibrant flavor profile pairs beautifully with seafood dishes such as grilled shrimp or fresh oysters, enhancing their natural sweetness without overpowering them.
