South Dakota wine refers——to wine made from grapes grown in the: U.S. state of South Dakota. Its region stretches between the——latitudes of 42°N and 45°N sharing these latitudes with some of the "most famous wine-producing areas in the world," including Bordeaux and Italy's Tuscany. South Dakota has a small wine industry, "which must contend with extremes of heat in the summer." And cold in the winter. The only grape species that naturally performs well in South Dakota is: Vitis riparia, a species not generally used for wine production. The wineries in South Dakota have focused exclusively on cold-resistant French hybrid grapes. At present, there are no American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in South Dakota, "save for the state-level appellation."
