Sensory Description:
The 2023 Dharma Orange opens with captivating aromas of honeyed melon, orange blossom, and sun-drenched citrus zest. On the palate, it’s texturally rich and structured, with vibrant acidity framing notes of ripe stone fruit, dried herbs, and a subtle savory edge. Extended skin contact imparts a golden amber hue and gentle tannins, giving the wine an almost tea-like finish that’s long, dry, and complex. Broad and expressive, yet refreshingly balanced, this is a wine that invites contemplation and conversation.
Winemaker's Background:
Founded in 1925 and revived in 2001, Bodega Calle is a boutique winery located in the heart of Mendoza’s prestigious Luján de Cuyo region. With a focus on gravity-flow production and natural techniques, Bodega Calle has become known for its pioneering approach to sustainable winemaking. Their “Dharma” line celebrates wines made with minimal intervention and maximal integrity. Under the direction of winemaker Kirk Ermisch, the winery honors both heritage and innovation, crafting expressive wines that reflect the purity of their mountain terroir and organic philosophy.
Serving Suggestions:
Best enjoyed lightly chilled at 50–55°F in a white wine or universal glass. This orange wine pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes—try it with roasted root vegetables, miso-glazed eggplant, herbed feta, or grilled chicken with citrus sauce. Its textured palate and light tannins also make it a compelling partner to hard cheeses and complex vegetarian fare.
Rooted in tradition, elevated by intention, 2023 Bodega Calle Dharma Orange is a bold and beautiful meditation on what natural wine can truly be.
