Bogdanuša | Local Wine Variety From Hvar, Croatia | TasteAtlas

Bogdanuša

Bogdanuša is a white grape variety that is indigenous to Hvar. Although it is mostly used to produce varietal wines, it is occasionally incorporated into various local blends. Varietal versions are usually pleasant, food-friendly, and light drinking wines characterized by their herbal and floral notes, bright acidity, and freshness.


The wine is best paired with fish-based main courses or light risottos. The name of the grape is roughly translated as God-given or God-send, allegedly because the wine used to be served at religious ceremonies.
