Riwaka

NZ triploid aroma hop bred from Old Line Saazer as part of the 'Hops with a Difference' programme, released in 1997. Named after the Riwaka region at the top of the South Island. Nearly double the oil content of its Saazer parent, delivering powerfully vivid grapefruit and passionfruit character.
