W O M E N ' S C U L T U R E 13 MATEUS ROSÉ Mateus’ tall and elegant bottle reflects it’s modern, light and fresh rosé taste, and is the number 1 imported rose in Australia. Best served chilled, the light sweet fruit flavour of Mateus makes it the perfect partner with alfresco meals or as a refreshing drink just by itself. We recommend pairing with a light watermelon and feta salad to enjoy that summer feeling all year round.
