A fruity wine made with pure South Dakota honey and ripe red raspberries.
For John Stolle, honey is more than a business. The beekeeper has been producing honey in western South Dakota for nearly 20 years.
His couple million bees are his partners. John’s first priority is his bees’ health.
He harvests only the honey that the bees produce in excess of their needs, leaving them enough of the honey for their own uses.
John and his dad run the honey business together, moving the hives, caring for the bees, and harvesting and processing the honey and wax.
The bees have access to the open fields of clover, alfalfa, and wildflowers that surround Bear Butte near the legendary Black Hills town of Sturgis, South Dakota, and have never known an herbicide or insecticide.
Honey is a natural food, and John Stolle produces it naturally.
So when we put it in our Raspberry Honeywine, you know it’ll be naturally delicious.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of daknole. Pours a clear red with the tiniest head. Sweet raspberry aroma. Medium body, sweet and tart raspberry accents with a vague carbonation. The honey is rather downplayed. Somewhat tart and astringent finish. 100110

750 ml bottle online from the Winery! Nose of raspberries and Cheracol cough syrup with light contrasting sweetness and a hint of tart. Clear raspberry red with a ring of larger bubbles aroud the outside of the glass. Flavor is lightly tart raspberries and light alcohol warmth. The tartness is refreshing!
