Wash and prepare the fresh fruits. Hull and slice the strawberries, and dice the mango. Set all the fruits aside in a large serving bowl.
In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine the unflavored gelatin powder with 0.5 cups of water. Stir to combine, then let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a small pot over low heat, warm the white wine gently (do not let it boil). Add the honey and stir until it dissolves completely.
Microwave the gelatin mixture for 10 seconds, or until fully dissolved, then whisk it into the warm honey wine mixture.
Pour the gelatin mixture into a shallow rectangular dish (such as an 8x8-inch baking dish). Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Once the gelatin has set, use a sharp knife to cut it into neat 1-inch squares.
To assemble the dessert, evenly divide the fresh fruit among four serving plates or bowls. Add several honey wine squares to each plate, arranging them creatively around the fruit.
Garnish each plate with a few fresh mint leaves and serve immediately. Optionally, drizzle a little extra honey over the fruit for added sweetness.
