Winery notes (NV)
"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 49%, Chardonnay 36%, and Pinot Meunier 15%. This traditionally bottle fermented wine is stored on lees for 50 months."
Joelle Thomson, drinksbiz Magazine, December 2023/January 2024 (NV)
"Winemaker Jane Hunter loves pink sparkling wine when it’s dry, fresh and has a hint of savoury richness to complement its fresh berry flavours. This wine succeeds on all counts and is staggeringly good value for money.
5 Stars & Top 5 Cuisine Méthode Traditionnelle Tasting, November 2023 (NV)
"A pretty, pale rose-petal pink in the glass with a lovely primary nose full of aromas of red apples, strawberries and cream and brioche. The palate is complex and well weighted with all elements in balance. Juicy and approachable with a lingering persistence on the finish."
5 Stars Michael Cooper, June 2022 (NV)
"This refined, non-vintage wine is a blend of Marlborough Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The latest bottling I tasted is bright, light pink, with a fragrant, yeasty bouquet. Highly attractive, it is very finely balanced, with strawberryish, peachy, spicy, yeasty flavours, showing very good complexity, that float across the palate to a smooth, dryish (8 grams/litre of residual sugar), very persistent finish."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, January 2022 (NV)
"Aromas of fresh strawberries and peaches, red apple and a whisper of red cherry. There’s a fine layer of autolysis with some baked goods and hint of fruit spice. Dry, fresh, salivating, crisp and dry on the palate. Flavours match the bouquet with more strawberry and cherry flavours. A delicious and refreshing wine ready for drinking from 2021 through 2027+."
5 Stars & 96/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, May 2020 (NV)
"A blend of pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier, with at least 18 months on the yeast lees in bottle. Pale-pink méthode with a seductive tease of berry fruit flavour against a subtle background of toasty yeast lees character. An ethereal texture with a pleasantly dry and surprisingly lengthy finish. A totally charming fizz."
4 Stars Yvonne Lorkin (NV)
"Pretty trout pink colour and boasting a persistent creamy mousse, delicate beading and subtle cranberry, cashew and shewsbury biscuit characters. Elegant and charismatic."
