WINE MAKING PROCESS
Mateus Rosé is produced through a carefully managed winemaking process designed to maintain its distinctive style. The grapes undergo slow fermentation without skins in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at 16°C. Post-fermentation, the wine is fined, cold-stabilized, filtered, and then bottled. It matures for several months in stainless steel tanks to enhance its freshness and fruit-forward character.
