Rust en Vrede

A subtle floral fragrance of frangipani provides a top note to intense fruity aromas of citrus with lots of white peaches, nectarine, and white pineapple. The intensity of fruit follows through on the palate, uplifted by racy acidity. Flavours of lemon and lime are more prominent, with cape gooseberry, pineapple, peach and creamy texture of lemon curd providing body. Fresh, layered and balanced with a dry yet textured mouth-feel and a zesty citrus finish.
