Prokupac Manastirka Šljivovica is a traditional Serbian plum rakija, or Šljivova Prepečenica, produced from Požegača plums grown in western Serbia. Manastirka has become one of the recognisable names associated with classic Serbian Šljivovica, bringing together traditional production methods with the unmistakable character of one of Serbia's important plum varieties.

The production process begins with carefully selected Požegača plums, a variety valued for its pronounced aroma. Following fermentation, Manastirka undergoes double distillation (prepeka). This second distillation is an important part of the traditional Serbian prepečenica style and helps create the concentrated, rounded character associated with the finished rakija.

According to current Serbian product information, Manastirka has a naturally clear appearance with a subtle golden tone, accompanied by the recognisable aroma of ripe plum. The palate is described as full and rounded, with clear ripe-plum character and a pleasant, warm finish that lingers.

The name Manastirka draws on Serbia's historic monastery tradition of rakija production. The producer associates the recipe with methods passed through generations, combining traditional manastirska receptura with modern production technology.

At 45% Alc./Vol., Manastirka is best served lightly chilled in a small rakija glass and enjoyed slowly. It can be served as an aperitif and naturally complements the traditional Balkan table, including meze, cured meats, cheeses and substantial Serbian dishes.
