Prince Michel Tres Bien 2006

Prince Michel Tres Bien 2006 Wine Details
Price: $21.99 per bottle

Description: The seductive aromas of the French Sauterne and the subtle fruity nuances of the German Eiswein were the inspirations for the creation of our Tres Bien. Vidal Blanc grapes were harvested at the peak of ripeness and pressed. The juice was allowed to freeze in the tank. Slowly thawing the juice allowed us to capture the full essence of flavor, sugar and acid while separating a large portion of the water from the juice as ice. The juice was fermented slowly at 50 degrees F to retain these elusive flavors. The result is a powerhouse of tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango with lingering orange peel and kiwi. The viscous sweetness and refreshing acid are unmistakable notes that remind the taster of this wine’s inspirations. Tres Bien is a limited production wine, available only in 375ml bottles.
