Abouriou (French spelling of Occitan aboriu early) is a red French wine grape variety grown primarily in Southwest France and in small quantities California. It is a blending grape that along with Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah Fer Cabernet Franc and Merlot is used to make the Appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) wine of Côtes du Marmandais. Abouriou can also be made into a varietal as it is used in some vin de pays wines.
