With
a long history of wine making derived from regional berries and
fruits, South Dakota continues the tradition today with wines
made from native buffaloberries, chokecherries, and other fruits.
Winter temperatures
and other environmental factors limit grape production mostly
to the southern half of the state with its longer growing season
and less damaging winter temperatures.
