Sušćan

The red grape variety originates from Croatia. Synonyms are Brajda Velika Crna, Sansigot, Susac and Sušćan Crni. It probably originates from the island of Susak in the Kvaner Bay, as indicated by some synonyms. The island used to be called the "floating vineyard" because over 90% of the area was planted with vines. The medium to late ripening, high-yielding vine is resistant to fungal diseases, especially botrytis. It produces red wines rich in alcohol. The variety is mainly grown in small quantities in the Primorje region and some nearby islands, such as Cres, Krk and Losinj. No stocks were reported in 2016; in 2010 there had been 5 hectares (Kym Anderson).
