Prošek

Name (pronounced Proschek) for a branded wine from Croatia, which is produced in Dalmatia (including on the two islands of Hvar and Vis) and Istria. The name swich probably derives from the Croatian adjective prošli (last, last), which refers to the late harvest of the grapes used to make it. There are different varieties of these mainly sweet dessert wines, which can vary greatly in colour, aroma and quality. These wines are characterised by a high residual sugar content with fresh acidity.

Grape varieties

The white wine varieties Bogdanuša, Maraština (Malvasia Bianca Lunga), Pošip Bijeli and Vugava are predominantly used, but also red wine varieties such as Plavac Mali (especially on Hvar), as well as in mixed form in blended sets. Depending on the colour of the variety, this results in amber to brown-red wines.
