The flavor of green apple in wine of South Dakota

More information on of South Dakota flavors

South Dakota is a state in the northern United States, bordered by Montana to the west and Minnesota to the east. Despite the challenges posed by the state's Harsh and unpredictable continental Climate, there is a thriving wine industry in South Dakota, producing wines from Franco-American HybridGrape varieties specially developed to withstand the cold. Most Vitis species cannot survive in these conditions, with the notable exception of Vitis riparia. In South Dakota, Frontenac, Concord, St.

Croix and Valiant are the most important varieties planted. All but Concord have an element of V. riparia in their selection. The state covers just over 200,000 km² (77,000 square miles) between latitudes 42° N and 45° N.

South Dakota shares these latitudes with Minnesota.
