Southern Cross has distinct tropical fruit and citrus aromas, with pronounced lemon and lime notes and a hint of pine.  All of our Southern Cross is later harvested to achieve a depth and intensity of well rounded citrus character that is unrivalled.  Many brewers have found that the huge quantities of terpene alcohols in Southern Cross boost the brightness and intensity of tropical character (thiols) in other varietals that are used alongside it.  Southern Cross has a promoter effect on the perception of appealing tropical character.  It is often thought of as the perfect partner for Nelson Sauvin, but our later harvested Southern Cross can easily stand on its own.
