Prč

Prč is a relatedly obscure Croatian grape that is kept alive by only a few wineries on the island of Hvar. It is believed that the grape is native to this Dalmatian island and that it originated near Sućuraj, a small town located in the eastern part of the island.

The wines made with Prč usually have an appealing golden color and a muscat-like aroma. They are often used in blends, mostly with local Bogdanuša, but there are few varietal examples. The grape is used in dry and dessert wines. Although Prč is relatively unknown, records show that it was a popular grape through the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.

It was primarily revitalized by the Vujnović family from Sućuraj. Prč wines pair nicely with white meat and fish. Apart from dry and dessert wines, the grape is used to make Prošek, a sweet dessert wine made from dry berries.
