DAKOTA VINES VINEYARD AND WINERY MERRY BISON

At Dakota Vines Vineyard and Winery, you'll find Marquette grapes, a modern cold-climate hybrid from the northern United States known for its bright, spicy wines with cherry and berry fruit. With its winter hardiness central to its importance, careful vineyard management is key to crafting the perfect balance of high acidity, vigorous growth, and harvest timing that shape the final wine. Expect medium-bodied expressions with lively acidity and moderate tannin, often showcasing notes like cherry, blackberry, cranberry, black pepper, baking spice, and sometimes earthy or smoky nuances. Whether you prefer dry reds, rosés, sparkling wines, or blends, Marquette is a versatile grape that works beautifully with grilled sausages, barbecue, roast pork, mushrooms, and tomato-based dishes.
