The name MiruMiru™ translates to “bubbles” in Te Reo Maori. The nose exhibits light yeasty characters with peach and citrus aromas. Stored on lees for 18 months the wine has developed an elegant palate showing a blend of white peach and citrus Chardonnay components followed by the light berry fruits of the Pinot Noir. The mouth filling mousse completes the palate that is full and persistent.
Vineyard and Winery
The grapes were picked at optimum fruit ripeness to obtain delicate fruit flavours and particular attention was placed on a good acid/sugar balance of the fruit. The wine was treated by traditional methods, i.e. no sulphur was added so subtle oxidation occurred (the reverse of methods used for treating our table wines) yet one can still pick out the strong Marlborough fruit characters. The fruit was gently pressed with low litres per tonne extraction. The resultant juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks before undergoing full malolactic fermentation. The Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier parcels were kept separate, blending just before tirage. This Non-Vintage Méthode Traditionelle spends 18 months on lees
