Kujundžuša

Kujundžuša is a white grape variety that hails from Croatia. It is believed to be native to the Imotski region, where it is still mainly cultivated. This high-yield grape is used in easy-drinking and approachable varietal wines.

Kujundžuša-based wines are typically golden yellow. They are naturally low in acidity and tend to have a subtle mineral character. Traditionally, producers created macerated styles, but the technique resulted in dull and unimpressive wines.

The modern approach is based on the earlier harvest, resulting in lighter wines meant for early consumption. Kujundžuša wines make an excellent aperitif, and they pair well with seafood and poultry. They should always be served chilled. Small amounts of the grape are also found in Dalmatian Hinterland and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
