The brand is most famous for its Mateus Rosé in the iconic flask-shaped bottle, designed to replicate soldiers' hip flasks in World War I. Today, the wine making is looked after by Miguel Pessanha, who has a Masters in Oenology from the University of Bordeaux. His strong focus on quality wine making has contributed to the continuing sales growth for what is one of the UK's best-selling rosé.<br/>Producer - Sogrape Vinhos, S.A.<br/>Regional Information - Miguel sources grapes from throughout Portugal, but Mateus is based primarily on the Baga grape, which is the principal variety in Bairrada, where the winery is situated.<br/>Vinification Details - Fermentation is carried out slowly, with no skins, in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 16ºC. Fining is followed by cold stabilisation, after which the wine is filtered and bottled. A blend of Baga, Rufete, Tinta Barroca and Touriga Franca, the wine wears its 15 grams of residual sugar well, as the balance with the acidity is cleverly done to give a wine that, if tasted blind, would surprise many.<br/>Winemaker - Miguel Pessanha<br/><br/><b>Allergy Advice</b><br/>Sulphur Dioxide/Sulphites - Contains<br/><br/><b>Wine Colour</b><br/>Colour - Rosé<br/><br/><b>Safety Warning</b><br/>Not to Be Opened with Gas or Air Pumps<br/><br/><b>Storage Type</b><br/>Ambient<br/><br/><b>Recommended Storage</b><br/>Storage Type - This wine is ideal for drinking now but can be kept for up to <><br/><br/><b>Safety Statements</b><br/>Pregnancy Warning<br/><br/><b>Country</b><br/>Country of Origin - Portugal<br/><br/><b>Provenance</b><br/>Product of Portugal<br/><br/><b>Company Name</b><br/>Sogrape Vinhos, S.A.<br/><br/><b>Company Address</b><br/>V.N.
