✨ Technical Specifications
Mateus White is a modern, light, and vibrant Portuguese white wine produced by Sogrape, a company founded in 1942 by Fernando van Zeller Guedes. Known globally for its iconic bottle shape inspired by WWI canteens, Mateus expanded its range beyond its famous Rosé to create fresh, accessible wines. Mateus White is crafted using temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the crisp, fresh fruit characters of indigenous Portuguese grape varieties, resulting in a slightly off-dry, semi-sparkling (frizzante) profile.
