Nelson Sauvin™ Hop Pellets (NZ)

Nelson Sauvin™ Hops

Nelson Sauvin™ is a triploid variety developed through the HortResearch hop breeding program in New Zealand. It was bred from the New Zealand variety Smoothcone and released in 2000. Its name references the Nelson region of New Zealand and the Sauvignon Blanc grape — a nod to its striking white wine and gooseberry character that is unlike any other hop in the world. Nelson Sauvin™ has become one of the most distinctive and sought-after New Zealand varieties in craft brewing.
