NZH-105 is a triploid selection crossed in 2006 through NZ Hops partnership programme with Plant & Food Research. NZH-105 is derived from a cross of a New Zealand bred mother with Late Cluster and Fuggle ancestry and a father, which has been used extensively for deriving good progeny. It is a late maturing selection, with a good yield potential and was entered into advanced grower trials based on its outstanding flavour and aroma in pilot brews.
