Mateus Rose Demi Sec is a sparkling rosé wine from Portugal, offering a balanced semi-sweet profile (demi-sec) with flavourful fruit and gentle effervescence. Made using the Charmat method, it features pale rose-petal colour with hints of salmon and is crafted to highlight aromas of berries and flowers. With moderate alcohol strength, it’s designed for celebrations or relaxed sipping — a wine that brings sweetness without overwhelming acidity.
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Light rose-petal pink with a delicate, persistent mousse of fine bubbles.
-
Aroma: Notes of strawberry, red currant and fresh raspberries, with floral nuances and a touch of toasted bread.
-
Palate: Juicy red fruits up front (berry blend), mild sweetness, crisp acidity that balances; subtle apple or pear undertones.

Finish: Smooth and lingering; fruit fades gently, leaving a soft sweet-berry aftertaste with fresh acidity.
-
ABV: ~11.0-11.5%
Serving Suggestions:
Serve chilled (6-8 °C) in a flute or wine glass. Great as an aperitif, with fresh fruit desserts, berry tarts, or light pastry. Also good with spicy cuisine to play off the sweetness, or paired with soft cheeses and fresh fruit platters.
