TASTING NOTES
Perfection in pink. Fresh and seductive with fine and intense bouquet, both fruity and dry, scents of currants and vanilla, cranberry and ginger. A splendiferous palate that's full of fresh berries, grape jelly, citrus and red licorice characters. A well balanced and tempting wine, brilliantly complemented by a soft and slightly fizzy finish. The first choice for aperitif, match Mateus with anything that's coloured pink.
