Pošip is an autochthonous white wine grape that is primarily grown in the Dalmatian region of Croatia on the island of Korčula, although small amounts are also being grown on the Pelješac Peninsula. While found in many areas around the Korčula, the primary and most productive growing regions are in and around the municipalities of Čara and Smokvica. The wines produced from this variety of grape in each region have their own distinct characteristics.
There are limited amounts of red wines (primarily Plavac Mali) grown on Korčula, but the island produces principally the white pošip wines and smaller outputs of Grk whites.
