2021 Domaine Elian Da Ros Abouriou Rouge, Cotes du Marmandais, France Antiyal She is mildly texturedAbouriou is a rare variety found primarily in the Ctes du Marmandais, but also a tiny bit in the western Loire Valley. Elian writes, "I chose semi carbonic maceration as my way of expressing this wine, but I didnt want to hide the terroir or the character of the grape. Abouriou is a fruity wine with a touch of spice wrapped up in soft and supple tannins. Its a wine from the Southwest vinified in a unique way."
