Hunter's
MiruMiru Rose Sparkling NV 750ml

Jane Hunter loves pink bubbles, so the decision was made to create a MiruMiru™ Rose. Wonderfully blush pink colour. Aromas of subtle strawberry and raspberry with a touch of fresh brioche. The palate is refined with freshness and balanced acidity. Blended from Pinot Noir 60%, Chardonnay 37%, and Pinot Meunier 3%. This traditionally bottle-fermented wine is stored on lees for 48 months.

The name MiruMiruTM translates to “bubbles” in Te Reo Maori.

The grapes were picked at optimum fruit ripeness to ensure delicate fruit flavours and particular attention was placed on good acid-sugar balance. The wine was treated in traditional methods, i.e. no sulphur so subtle oxidation (the reverse of methods for treating our table wines) yet one can still pick up the reasonably strong Marlborough fruit characters. The wine was fermented in stainless steel before undergoing a full malolactic fermentation. The Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier parcels were kept separate before blending just before tirage (the addition of sugar and yeast to start secondary fermentation). The wine is then aged on lees in bottle for a minimum of 18 months before disgorgement.
