Citrusy, grapefruit aroma hop

Being from Harrisburg Pa, Im a mega foan of Troegs Nugget Nectar.  I dont want a clone, I want my own thing, but N.N. is inspiring my recipe.  Im thinking of Chinook for 60, Nugget for 45, and Riwaka for late addition aroma hopping and dry hopping...
 
They're a New Zealand hop in Saaz family. I've been sampling the NZ hops, and so far been pleasantly surprised with them. The Nelson Sauvin are a great Cascade substitute.
