Mateus was the first Portuguese wine brand to be loved the world over, appealing to different tastes and cultures and recognised in the farthest corners of the world. Today Mateus is enjoyed in 125 countries and has been for many decades.

The history of Mateus Rosé goes back to 1942, when Fernando van Zeller Guedes created and launched an entirely new concept – a wine of strong personality and unique taste presented in an unusual, innovative bottle.

The bottle was first inspired by the hip-flasks used by soldiers in the First World War, creating a shape that stood out in a crowd of tall bottles. The label, unusually elegant and innovative for the period, was an ode to its rich Portuguese background.

But inside the iconic bottle, there was a new kind of wine, something different – pink, refreshing, slightly sparkling and extremely versatile.

The real secret of our success lies in the passion of our winemakers. It’s this passion that created our newly released range of new varieties, making Mateus the perfect wine for any occasion.
