Mateus The Original Rose
So yes, this Portuguese wine comes in a very bright and shiny PINK color, slightly salmon if you ask me, but with delicate purples hues to it which I think explain why it looks so bright and colorful!
The nose is actually quite restrained, and surprisingly closed at first. Yes perhaps I chilled it a little too much, but who wouldn’t in the heart of summer on a hot day in the South of France?
Delicate aromas of strawberry, perhaps blueberry as well, fresh and crisp berries at least come through and dominate the profile. Touches of subtle floral notes of elderflower give some elegance. A sulfuric smell however, like hot water spring sulfur, weigh down the smelling sensation.
The palate is soft and light, with some perceptible residual sugar but nothing too tiringly sweet. It’s well-balanced with a good aciditiy, a light and watery body. A wine that goes down well overall. Easy to drink, light and refreshing it is.
Flavors are fruity, strawberry lolly, pemogranate and hints of vegetal, like acacia leaves. It’s fruity and simple but not tasting too artificical in the end, less so than I was expecting at least.
