Description
Birds Bees Sweet White
-
Appearance: Pale straw yellow with a soft golden glow. Its light hue reflects the wine’s clean, fresh nature.
-
Aroma: Birds Bees Sweet White opens up with bright and enticing aromas of ripe pear, white peach, green apple, and honeydew melon. There are floral hints of jasmine and honeysuckle, as well as a subtle citrus note — like orange blossom or lemon zest — that gives it lift and balance.
-
Palate: On the palate, the wine is smooth, sweet, and fruity. Flavors of lychee, stone fruit, and tropical melon are carried on a soft, round texture that’s balanced by just enough acidity to keep things from becoming cloying. There’s a gentle crispness at the finish, leaving behind a lingering impression of sweet fruits and a touch of grape candy or fruit cocktail.
