Nelson Sauvin
Pick your time. Pick your flavour.
Pick time is vital to aroma and flavor, so we select the pick times of our hops with precision and intent. Until recently a late pick was the norm for Nelson Sauvin, but we knew that picking at different times would offer a greater spectrum of aromas and flavors that brewers would love.
We go beyond what other New Zealand growers offer. We pick our Nelson Sauvin over 10 days and have over 20 harvest lots to choose from. This offers brewers subtle differences in aroma and flavor across early, mid and late picks.
