PRINCE MICHEL VINEYARDS
Tres Bien
2025 Governor’s Cup Gold Our Tres Bien is delightfully sweet and crafted from late season Petit Manseng grapes, with a residual sugar content of 11%. Pouring a golden amber hue and shimmering with hints of honey and sunshine. The nose is vibrant and aromatic, offering intense aromas of ripe tangerine zest, apricot, honeyed citrus and tropical fruits. Rich and luscious with a velvety texture that coats the palate. Flavors of honeyed apricot, candied orange peel, and ripe peach dominate layered with notes of toasted almonds and exotic
spices. The wine’s natural sweetness is beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity, which ensures a clean but lingering finish.
Discover Prince Michel Vineyard and Winery, an iconic East Coast estate. Family and pet-friendly, it’s one of the oldest and largest wineries in the Commonwealth. Also, home to Tap 29 Brew Pub, serving local craft brews and delicious pub-style food seven days a week.
