The Grk is a rare Croatian grape variety that produces quality white wines. A name without vowels, indeed, is not unusual in Slavic languages. White wines made from the Grk grape can be mouth-filling and complex. Despite being grown in very warm vineyards, they generally have good acidity and a pleasant bitter finish. That is, if you can find one, because these unknown quality wines are rare.
The Grk is an ancient grape. Because Grk literally means "Greek," it was long assumed that the Greeks brought it to the Dalmatian coast. That appears not to be the case. The Grk is a member of the well-known Croatian grape family, which also includes Tribidrag, Plavac Mali, Plavina, and Vranec.
Grk grows only in Croatia. In southern Dalmatia, on islands near the historic city of Dubrovnik. The town of Lumbarda on the island of Korčula is considered its birthplace.
