Following the monumental global success of its historic rosé sibling, which was launched in 1942 by Fernando van Zeller Guedes in the iconic flask-shaped bottle inspired by World War I soldier canteens, Mateus White was introduced to offer a similarly refreshing and accessible experience. Crafted in Portugal primarily from indigenous white grape varieties such as Fernão Pires, Arinto, Bical, and Malvasia, this wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve its bright, fruit-forward character. A small amount of residual carbon dioxide is retained to give the wine its signature, lively spritz. It is a light, off-dry, and highly aromatic white wine that captures the breezy, casual spirit of Portuguese coastal living.
