Your Perfect Kiepersol Wine is Waiting For You
You walk into a tasting room and see rows of bottles, each with its own story.
It’s exciting, and also a little overwhelming.
Dry or sweet?
Light or bold?
Rosé or red?
You start to wonder if there’s a secret handshake for people who already know what they like.
At Kiepersol, we’ve all been there. That’s why we created this Kiepersol Wine Map, your guide through our world of wine. It’s here to help you find where your taste belongs…and to give you permission to wander a little beyond it.

Your Map to the Wine Styles
Think of this as your compass for discovering flavor. Click to make this map larger or download a pdf at the end of the blog. Here’s how it works:
The horizontal line moves from Sweetest → Driest, showing how fruit-forward or structured each wine feels.
The vertical line runs from Lightest → Fullest (body), showing how gentle or weighty the wine feels on your palate.
Given your previous wine tastes or even how you drink your coffee, this will help you get a starting place on the map, and let you see what you might want to try just outside your comfort zone.
The Light & Fresh White Wines
If you like crisp, clean wines that lift you up, start here.
Vit and Steen sparkle with brightness. Dry, refreshing, and honest.
Edelvit brings a touch more richness while staying beautifully balanced.
Dulce bridges into the sweeter side with notes of honey and ripe fruit reminiscent of a Moscato.
The Playful & Pink Wines
This is the bridge between worlds; lively, colorful, and full of expression.
Rosé (no oak) and Rosé Reserve (cherry wood oaked) are dry and graceful.
Flight and Pink (low alcohol) show off the fruit-forward, playful and sweeter side.
These are the wines that invite curiosity. They remind you that tasting should be joyful, not serious. It’s okay to love something you didn’t expect to.
The Dry Reds
Here’s where Kiepersol’s roots run deep. We’re known for our reds that highlight the soul of our vineyard in every glass.
Merlot and Syrah are approachable, delicate, flavorful, and easy to love.
Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Reserve bring structure, spice, and gravitas.
Mengsel, Power, Barrel No. 33, and Bourbon Barrel Cabernet push the limits with unique flavor profiles, full-bodied mouthfeel, layers, and unforgettable richness.
If you’ve never ventured into the bold side, here’s your moment.
The Rich & Sweet Finishes
For those who love a touch of luxury this is your afterglow.
Ruby Port and Rum Barrel Port are warming and indulgent.
Tjaila (“Chyla”) is our golden finale; rich, sweet, and meant to be savored slowly.
These wines are a gentle reminder that exploration doesn’t stop when dinner does.
Finding Your Perfect Wine
Whether you know exactly what you like or just hoping to discover it, this map is your guide to find what tastes right for you.
Start with what you know, then taste something just a little outside your usual lane.
Maybe you’ll fall in love with a new texture, a deeper flavor, or a hint of sweetness you didn’t expect.
That’s the beauty of wine. It evolves, and so do we. Visit the Grand Room tasting bar and let our stewards help you navigate your quadrant. Be bold, be curious, and trust that wherever you start, you’ll end up exactly where your palate feels at home.
