Prokupac (Serbian Cyrillic: Прокупац) is a red Serbian wine grape that is often used to produce darkly colored rosé. The grape is noted for the high sugar levels it can achieve prior to harvest and the high levels of alcohol it can produce following fermentation.[1]
Prokupac is the 9th most planted grape in terms of commercial plantations' area. It is most planted in the Three Moravas, Toplica, and Leskovac wine regions.[2]
The reasons why Prokupac is the widespread grape in Serbia include:[3]
- resistance to low temperatures
- not requiring much care
- giving abundant harvest even on skeletal soil and
- having high sugar content
