Grgić Pošip, Korčula Island 2022
A Croatian white with California roots and Adriatic soul.

Crafted by Grgić Vina, the Croatian project of Napa legend Miljenko “Mike” Grgich (of Judgment of Paris fame), this 100% Pošip is sourced from steep, sun-drenched vineyards on Korčula Island, overlooking the Adriatic.

Pošip, a native Croatian grape born from a spontaneous crossing of two local varieties, delivers a crisp, dry, and complex profile. This 2022 vintage is beautifully aromatic, with notes of citrus, ripe melon, apple, and savory herbs, rounded by hints of vanilla, hazelnut, smoke, and lemon rind. There’s even a faint whisper of resin and orange blossom in the background.

On the palate, it’s voluptuous yet vibrant, a brilliant balance of brisk minerality, layered fruit, and a clean, snappy finish.

Pairing tip: It sings with seafood, think oysters, shrimp pasta, grilled white fish, or even creamy pasta with wild fennel. Also works nicely with soft cheeses.
A standout wine that’s both regional and refined, offering a true taste of Dalmatian coastal charm.
Cheers!

Love this wine! High mineral content, crisp, clean, lemon but not too acidic, with a sweet honey finish. — 2 years ago

Deliciously White out of 100% Posip Grape, an ancient indigenous Croatian varietal that has its origins from the Korčula island, located in the south of Hvar Island as well.
Pure expression of ripe apricot on both nose and palate, it has a great tension and weight on the mouth with distinctive layers of baked stony fruits. Long but not over lingering finish with a bit of texture.
This wine style will take you to the next level when paired with classic mediterranean food, and beside the traditional grilled cheese, it can be paired with some Dalmatian pršut (prosciutto), and aged cheeses as well.
Cheers to autochthonous grapes! — 3 months ago

Croatian white hit all the right notes: not effusive on nose, reserved notes of orchard fruit, citrus, herbs, mint, stones & minerals, some salinity, but on the palate everything came together as it had this soft spot in the middle wrapped in vibrant acidity. Delightful texture - it helped that we paired with a briny smoked charcuterie plate. Hit or miss with Croatia, but this was a hit! — 10 months ago

Barley, brine, lemon. Medium bodied- fleshy. Maybe the lobster on the label is suggestive, but this wine would be fantastic with seafood. — 2 years ago

The label is GRK, Berba 2022. Lovely white blend wine from Korčula Vineyard, indigenous white grapes sourced from the central and south of Dalmatia, Croatia. Dry, crispy, subtle acidity and delicate white with hints of salinity. Hard to find as it’s produced in very small quantities. Loved the elegant style. — 10 months ago
