2024 Season Detail: A typical growing season for the Nelson Lakes area with above average rainfall. The harvest period had moderate rainfall with typical night time temperatures. On average, the harvest was slightly earlier than normal across varietals, with some blocks slightly early in achieving aroma targets. Aromas were incredibly expressive at harvest and lupulin quantities were exceptional. Tropical fruit complexity was found across most of our varietals. Grown with love, full of terps and thiols.
Nelson Lakes Valley Terroir: Sandy loam and river gravels through the Tutaki Valley make up our soils. The mountain valley microclimate has a large diurnal temperature range and exceptionally high UV levels relative to growing degree days. That combination helps develop exceptionally high levels of aromatic compounds in our hops.
