Mateus Rosé – the Best Selling Portuguese Wine Maker Introduces Dry Rosé
With a shimmery pink hue gleaned straight from a summer sunset, the color of Mateus Dry Rosé isn’t the only unique thing about it!

Creative and Innovative From the Start
In 1942, Fernando Van Zeller Guedes, Mateus founder and visionary, crafted the first rosé wine from Portugal. Sold in curved bottles inspired by the flasks carried by World War I soldiers, Van Zeller Guedes novel wine was a hit.

The bottles weren’t the only unique mark of Van Zeller Guedes’s brand, however. The founder’s insightful and tactical marketing strategy was also a genius plan. Two bottles of the rosé were sent to every Portuguese ambassador around the world. With “a bottle for you and one for your friend,” the innovative rosé quickly gained popularity across the globe.
The brand’s demand in the U.S. picked up as well – especially by several celebrities. Famous photographs including Mateus Rosé and range of public figures seemed to be everywhere. Icons from rock legend Jimi Hendrix to Apple founder Steve Jobs were photographed with a bottle of the remarkable rosé, and backstage at a photo shoot for the KISS Alive album cover, lead guitarist Ace Frehley posed with – you guessed it – a bottle of Mateus Rosé!
