There are two kinds of people in the world.
Either you're old enough to remember the heyday of Mateus rosé, the famous squat bottle of dusky pink danger that fuelled a million 70's dinner parties.…or you're on this planet because of it.
Just like body–shirts, prawn cocktails and fruit bowls full of Kingswood keys Mateus was everywhere in the 70's. This stuff was so huge it was the biggest thing to come out of Portugal since Magellan and arguably the country's most valuable export right up until Ronaldo signed with Real Madrid.
Now everything old is new again and Mateus is back to haunt a new generation of drinkers with a slight label tweak but that same old crisp and crunchy rosé goodness. So dig out that fondue set from the back of the cupboard, dust of those K–Tel records and squeeze back into those flares because Mateus is back.
And at just $5.49 a bottle it's basically the same price it was back then too. It's time to remember a time when the men were hairy, the women were natural and a close Brazilian was the bloke from Rio who moved in next door. It's time to rediscover Mateus.
