Written By By Kelly Doherty

We have huge Texas Wine Month news to share! The 2025 Kiepersol Dulce earned a Double Gold Medal and 96 points at the San Francisco International Wine Competition.

That means every judge on the panel gave Dulce a Gold rating. We’re so grateful for this recognition.

With its beautiful golden hue, Dulce is our sweet white wine for Moscato lovers, and a lovely glass to enjoy this Texas Wine Month.

Founded in 1980, the San Francisco International Wine Competition brings wines from around the world to be judged blind. The judges taste without seeing the labels, keeping the focus on what’s in the glass.

Dulce was one of five 100% estate-grown Kiepersol wines to receive medals:

🥇 Double Gold, 96 points: 2025 Dulce
🥈 Silver: 2025 Vit
🥉 Bronze: 2025 Rosé
🥉 Bronze: 2023 Barrel No. 33
🥉 Bronze: 2024 Texas Flight Sweet Rosé

You need to try it while this vintage is still available!
