Mateus Rose

Ah… the funny rounded bottle that I remember from the 70’s. When the APs (that’s the Aged Parents… funny how they never appreciated that nickname!) had their cheese and wine parties someone would always turn up with a bottle or two of this This poor old wine has suffered for many years with its dated image, but now it could be making a bit of a comeback… hopefully a more successful one than its ill-fated alcoholic friend Babycham Recently I’ve noticed a few adverts on the goggle box trying to persuade us that mateus rosé is a cool drink. So being a lover of all things pink and partial to the odd glass (or two) of wine I thought I’d give it a whirl. ...  Read the complete review

I don't know about you, but my wine decisions are often based on the weather. I have to be in the right frame of mind for a good rose, white or red, adn the sun will quite often provoke me into a glass or two of a good pink wine.

Mateus Rose is a wine which brings me back many memories. When I was younger I lived in Italy for few years, and around the age of 15 we began playing with wine. In Italy parents are permissive about their offsprings drinking wine. Together with my friends, we used to go in the countryside with a few bottles of chilled Mateus Rose in summer. Mateus Rose comes from Portugal and I have always drunk it chilled. It sells for around 4-5 Pounds in Uk, which is more than what you pay in Spain, for example. It has a very fresh bouquet and it definitively ahs some hint of fruits in it. It is a very addictive, and therefore wine and I ...  Read the complete review
