Eggers Hops is a niche, independent grower in Upper Moutere specialising in the cultivation of the enigmatic Riwaka cultivar. Lots are segregated by harvest date and block, not blended; some of its Riwaka is so late harvested that the pellets are yellow.
Eggers Hops
Freestyle Riwaka has a stunning exotic citrus character with potent tropical high notes. It is all harvested based on field sensory, looking for sweet tropical notes like papaya and lychee to develop appealing intensity. Often less is more with Riwaka.
