Nelson Sauvin™ was developed by the New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research as part of its New Hop Variety Development Program and was released to the market in 2000. It was created from the New Zealand Smoothcone hop and a selected male. It is an excellent all-rounder, capable of producing punchy ales as well as subtle, bitter lagers. Its name comes from the distinctive Sauvignon Blanc aromas it develops.
