Hunter’s MiruMiru NV is an exceptional Marlborough méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine, a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 46% Pinot Noir, and 4% Pinot Meunier, crafted with Champagne-like precision and extended lees aging. Its name, MiruMiru (Māori for "bubbles"), reflects its vibrant elegance, making it a standout in New Zealand’s sparkling wine offerings.
In the glass, it shines with a straw-gold hue and delicate lemon highlights, producing fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is inviting and layered, revealing aromas of peach, citrus, red apple, and grilled lemon, accompanied by toasty notes of brioche, honey, and vanilla. On the palate, it is creamy and fulsome, with a lively mousse balanced by crisp acidity. Flavors of red apple, peach, and subtle toast are intertwined with brioche and a hint of hazelnut, carried to a lingering citrus-infused finish.
