Krajancic Winery
The Krajancic winery began its journey in 1993 when owner Luca decided to revive over 500 years of tradition. He is one of Korcula’s most enterprising contemporary wine maker , producing individually crafted – Posip wines that can hold their own with any Mediterranean Europe’s quality dry white wines.
Today , their vineyards cover 3.5 hectares of land and in them only one variety grows-Posip.
With so much love and hard work dedicated to it , it comes with no surprise that his Posip has become one the favourites amongst Croats.
