Nelson Sauvin™ is a seedless triploid variety and is the quintessential New Zealand hop, best known for its distinctive, strong aromas of tropical fruit, gooseberry, and white wine in beers.

Developed by the New Zealand Institute for Bioeconomy Science Limited's hop breeding program from New Zealand-bred parents and released in 2000, Nelson Sauvin has been a flagbearer for NZ-style beers over the past 2 decades. Its release coincided with the worldwide craft beer boom, which has since seen it used extensively in many countries. To this day, Nelson Sauvin’s unique aromas and flavors are unmatched.
