POTD: Palácio de Mateus

From 2026 01 03 Pinhão, Mateus, Quintã, Porto

The Palácio de Mateus is a palace located on the Douro River in Portugal. The winery buildings date from the 16th century. The palace dates from the mid-18th century. The palace is owned by the Mateus Foundation and gives its name to the Mateus rosé wine brand, which, in a surprise to me, was only developed at the end of World War II, styled to appeal to the North American and northern European markets.
