Vintages Wine Panel: The Lurton brothers began working in Argentina with Catena in 1992 before establishing their own bodega there in 1996. This wine has a beautiful pale rose-petal-red colour. The nose is complex, offering suggestions of ripe red apple, earth, wild raspberry and sweet herbs. Dry and medium bodied, this is quite a robust rosé with great depth of fruit on the palate, and a fresh, tangy finish. My note: Spicy, juicy, full-bodied rose, almost Tavel-like. Love it! Fresh and fleshy ripe raspberries. Bring it on.

Malbec Rosado food pairings: lightly smoked herbed salmon, chicken fajitas, spiced pork kebabs.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
