Mateus origins date back to 1942, when Fernando Van Zeller Guedes had this idea of creating a wine with a unique personality and flavour that presented in an original and innovative bottle inspired by the flask bottles of the soldiers in World War I. This original combination and quality of the wine made it a case of success, and Mateus grew to become a global brand, present in more than 125 countries, with well above 1 billion bottles sold in 60 years of continuous production. Its unique bottle is a true design icon, recently rejuvenated to best capture the timeless values of this well-loved brand.
