Made in the traditional method from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and a touch of Pinot Meunier grown in the Wairau Valley, it spends a minimum of eighteen months on its lees before disgorgement, building a fine, cashew-cream mousse around bright peach, pink grapefruit and citrus flavours with a gently biscuity, herb-tinged finish. It is lively rather than heavy, with just enough off-dry softness to keep things easy-drinking. MiruMiru means bubbles in te reo Maori, and this is the wine that earned the name.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHunter's MiruMiru Brut is a traditional method sparkling wine blended from Chardonnay (49%), Pinot Noir (48%) and Pinot Meunier (3%), all grown in the Wairau Valley, and disgorged after a minimum of eighteen months on its yeast lees. Hunter's describes a complex scent of peach, pink grapefruit and alpine herbs, with a graceful, lithe palate carried by bright acidity and a cashew cream mousse, finely balanced with peachy, citrusy, gently biscuity flavours running through to a smooth, off-dry finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the experts say:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecanter World Wine Awards, Gold Medal, 95\/100 (NV)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"A complex scent package of peach, pink grapefruit and a topline of alpine herbs.

This Marlborough sparkling is disgorged after a minimum of 18 moths on its yeast lees (earlier than its Reserve stablemate) and has a lower Pinot Noir content. The nonvintage I tasted in early 2025 is a blend of Chardonnay (49%), Pinot Noir (48%) and Pinot Meunier (3%), grown in the Wairau Valley. Offering great drinkability, it is fresh, vibrantly fruity and finely balanced, with a very good intensity of peachy, citrusy, gently biscuity flavours, and a lively off-dry smooth finish.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBob Campbell MW, The Real Review, 94\/100 (NV)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"A blend of pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier.
