Prokupac is Serbia's flagship indigenous red grape, mostly from southern Serbia (Zupa and Toplica). Medium-bodied, sour cherry, herbal, increasingly the calling card of Serbian wine.
Prokupac was the everyday Serbian house red through the 19th and 20th centuries before falling out of favour during Yugoslav-era state production. The 2010s revival, led by small producers in Zupa, Toplica and Tri Morave, repositioned Prokupac as the Serbian flagship at international competitions. Belgrade wine bars now pour Prokupac flights as a national signature.
