This hop comes from New Zealand, where it was developed and released. It’s a high-alpha variety with unique aroma and flavor properties. The Nelson Sauvin hop aroma descriptors include distinctive white wine characters along with fruity flavors, such as fresh crushed gooseberry and grape. In fact, it was this hop’s unusual grape-like, Sauvignon Blanc like flavor that gave it its name.
