Prairie Berry - Red Ass Rhubarb

Red Ass Rhubarb, our most popular, most award-winning wine.

It features rich raspberry followed by bright, tart rhubarb, and a hint of citrus.

Story

Too many cooks can spoil the stew, and too many helpers in the winery can change the course of history.

In the early days Ralph, our winemaker’s dad, was helping out in the winery.

He accidentally added elderberry to the tank for Razzy Rhubarb wine, which, at that point, was no longer Razzy Rhubarb wine.

The story goes that his face turned red and he felt like an ass for messing up the wine, so it became Red Ass Rhubarb.

Add a donkey to the label and you’ve got the most famous, most award-winning wine made in South Dakota.
