Type: Red Wine (Organic / Biodynamic / Minimal Intervention)
Region: Côtes du Marmandais, South-West France
Grapes: 90% Abouriou, 10% Merlot ([turn0search0turn0search2)
Alcohol ABV: 13.5% ([turn0search0turn0search5)
Aroma:
A distinctive expression of the rare Abouriou grape, showing aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and wild berries. Layers of violet, sweet spices, liquorice, and subtle earthy notes add complexity. The nose combines the rustic character of this traditional South-West French variety with a modern, elegant freshness.
Palate:
Medium to full-bodied with a deep colour and generous fruit profile. The palate delivers flavours of blackberry, plum, dark cherry, and black fruits, supported by smooth tannins and refreshing acidity. Notes of spice, herbs, and a slight mineral character provide balance, with a structured yet approachable finish. Despite its concentration, the wine remains lively and easy to drink.
The grapes are hand-harvested from organically farmed vineyards and carefully sorted before fermentation. The wine undergoes gentle extraction to preserve the natural fruit expression of Abouriou, with fermentation carried out using indigenous yeasts. Ageing is done in a way that focuses on purity and drinkability, avoiding excessive oak influence and allowing the unique character of this rare grape variety to shine.
The vineyards are located in Côtes du Marmandais, near Cocumont in South-West France, where Elian Da Ros farms with organic and biodynamic principles. The vines grow on clay, gravel, and clay-limestone soils, providing both structure and freshness. Elian Da Ros is known for reviving indigenous varieties such as Abouriou and expressing the identity of this lesser-known French wine region.
