Did you know that lemon peel smells more like verbena and lemon balm than lemon itself? This is because it is rich in citral, an aromatic molecule that gives them their lemony scent. This molecule is also found in wines, especially Muscat wines. When they are young, as well as riesling and gewurztraminer. Sauternes and sweet jurançons also contain it.
