The Dalmatian Zagora or simply Zagora ( " Dalmatian Hinterland ") is a sub-Mediterranean inland landscape in the hinterland of Dalmatia ( Croatia). It is separated by the mountains Mosor and Biokovo from the sea and therefore provides a protected environment for viticulture.

Here the grape variety grown Kujundžuša example, which is considered in this area as indigenous. Wines from this grape are harmonious and her nose has elements of continental and Mediterranean wines.
For the area of Vrgorac, which is partially submerged ( sometimes you can therefore reap here the vines from boats ) are the varieties Medna, Zlatarica, Blatina and Plavina characteristic.
