What Makes Korčula Wine So Special?
Korčula has a rich winemaking history dating back to the Greek and Roman eras, with the island’s unique Mediterranean climate and limestone-rich soil creating the perfect conditions for premium wine production. Unlike other regions of Croatia, Korčula is known for its exceptional white wines, made from indigenous grape varieties that are exclusive to the island.
One of the things that makes Korčula wine unique is the strict traditional winemaking methods used by local families for generations, preserving the island’s authentic flavours.
What Are the Best Wines to Try in Korčula?
Grk
This is Korčula’s most famous white wine, grown almost exclusively in Lumbarda. Grk is dry, crisp, and refreshing, with citrus, almond, and mineral notes, making it the perfect wine for summer evenings by the sea.
Pošip
Another signature white wine from Korčula, Pošip is full-bodied, aromatic, and slightly fruity, often compared to a high-end Chardonnay. It pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, Dalmatian cheeses, and Mediterranean dishes.
Plavac Mali
While Korčula is known for its whites, this bold red wine is popular throughout Dalmatia. It’s rich, intense, and full of dark berry flavors, perfect for those who enjoy a deep, robust red.
