This Mateus Original, resolutely focused on consistency, feels almost engineered – a bit like a robot meticulously replicating a design. The slow fermentation, kept at a cool 16°C and without grape skins, delivers a strikingly vibrant pink hue and a freshness that, while admirable, leans a touch clinical. Predominantly made with Baga and Rufete, with a touch of Touriga Nacional for elegance, it’s ideal paired with grilled fish with aromatic herbs – a flavour explosion that might just soften that initial coolness.
