Nelson Sauvin Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Nelson Sauvin is a highly sought-after hop variety grown in New Zealand and named for its distinctive flavor profile reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc grapes. This hop is prized for its ability to deliver complex fruit aromas and unique wine-like character.

Brewers often describe Nelson Sauvin hops as producing notes of gooseberry, white wine, citrus, and tropical fruit. These characteristics make Nelson Sauvin especially popular in modern IPAs and saisons where expressive hop aroma plays a key role in the overall flavor profile.

Nelson Sauvin performs exceptionally well in late boil additions, whirlpool hopping, and dry hopping where its distinctive aroma can fully develop.

Nelson Sauvin hops are widely used in modern beer styles where bold fruit character and complex aroma are desired.
