BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Calling all sweet wine drinkers: There's a new option on store shelves.
Oliver Winery released its Melon Mint Moscato to retailers nationwide Wednesday.
The Bloomington winery said the new addition is "inspired by the simplicity of classic agua fresca combined with the complexity of a traditional mojito."
Melon Mint Moscato joins Oliver Winery's Real Fruit Moscatos collection, which includes Cherry Moscato, Blueberry Moscato, Lemon Moscato and the original Moscato.
"There's a general misunderstanding about our own palates," said Bill Oliver, founding family member and advisor for Oliver Winery. "While the majority of people tend to say they prefer 'dry,' research shows that more than half of Americans love the taste of sweet wines. So, it's exciting to continue evolving the sweet wine category to be low-ABV and lower calorie while using real fruit juices, extracts, and natural flavors."
Melon Mint Moscato has a 6.8% alcohol by volume and 110 calories per glass.
The new addition retails at $12 per bottle and is also available at the Oliver Winery tasting room and the winery's website.
