Cros des Calades - Dolmen Orange 2023
Rhône | orange, dry |
A boldly structured orange wine with layers of dried fruit, herbs, and spice.
Dolmen Orange is an expressive skin-contact white from Cros des Calades. Macerated on the skins, it gains not only its vibrant color but also a rich and complex personality. The nose is a tapestry of dried fruit, herbal notes, and gentle spice. On the palate, it’s full-bodied with firm structure, bright acidity, and a long, aromatic finish. A must-try for adventurous palates.
Cros des Calades is a new project from Florence and Benoît of Château de la Selve. Based in Grospierres, they vinify grapes from five organically farmed plots in the southern Rhône Valley. Their philosophy remains the same as at Château de la Selve – maximum respect for terroir and minimal intervention in the cellar. The wines are light, playful, and approachable – from reds and whites to rosés, including both classic and pink Pet-Nats.
