Vinification follows the traditional method for white wines and fermentation is carried out slowly, with no skins, in stainless steel vats at 16ºC controlled temperature. Fining is followed by cold-stabilisation, after which the wine is filtered and bottled. The whole process is done with extreme care, so as consistently to ensure Mateus unique style, colour and freshness.

Back in 1942, the Mateus Rose was first produced by Fernando van Zeller Guedes, as part of a new wine idea. The new idea was "a wine with a strong personality and unique taste presented in an original and innovative bottle." This led to the success of the company. Mateus Rose wine comes in a light, sparkling pink color and is presented in an original bottle that resembles the flasks used by soldiers during the First World War. This bottle is shorter compared to bottles of other wines.
