Discover the Unique White Wine and Tropical Fruit Aromatics of Nelson Sauvin™ Hops

Nelson Sauvin™ Hops, one of New Zealand’s most distinctive and sought-after hop varieties, are known for their bold white wine, gooseberry, and tropical fruit character. Their name comes from their similarity to Sauvignon Blanc grapes, making them an ideal choice for IPAs, pale ales, saisons, and experimental styles. With complex aromas ranging from passionfruit and crushed gooseberries to fresh citrus and subtle pine, Nelson Sauvin™ offers brewers a truly unique hop experience.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Nelson Sauvin™ Hops bring a distinctively fruity and vinous character:

  • White Wine & Gooseberry: Sauvignon Blanc grape-like notes with a crisp, vinous edge.
  • Tropical & Citrus: Passionfruit, lychee, grapefruit, and lime.
  • Earthy & Resinous: Subtle pine, black pepper, and herbal complexity.

Brewing Applications

Nelson Sauvin™ Hops excel in hop-forward and aromatic beer styles:

  • Aroma & Flavor Additions: Best used in late boil and whirlpool for bright fruit and white wine character.
  • Dry Hopping: Enhances crisp white grape and citrus notes in IPAs and pale ales.
