Mir Global Marketing’s Argentine selections are available in two varieties – the “PS Collection“ and the “Martín Carrera Reserva Collection.” Both are wonderful examples of the wineries Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Chardonnay.

Our PS collection, the younger of our two varieties, provides a clean, fruity taste with great depth for such a premier wine. If stored properly, the wine has a shelf life of four to five years. Overtime, rich flavors gradually give way, evolving into a more subtle element in the greater embodiment a mature, dry wine.

Our Martín Carrera Reserva collection provides a seasoned, fully developed taste from the beginning. All our wines from the Martín Carrera Reserva collection have been stored in traditional French wood barrels that our vintners and oenologists have personally selected. These barrels have been used by Mendoza’s wine industry for over century, allowing Argentina’s wine producers to combine the superior skills and instruments of European wine making with the grace of one of the most conducive and healthy regional climates for growing wine found anywhere in the world.

Mendoza Province – The heart and soul of Argentinean Wine

Mir Global’s Argentina selections come from the world famous wine growing region of Mendoza.  Mendoza Province is a picturesque region situation along the beginning of the Andes mountain range in mid-western Argentina. The Andes Mountains run along the western edge of the province, protecting the low lands and valleys where wine is grown from the cold and rain.

Argentina is a country with a long history in wine making and consumption. Until the early nineties, Argentina produced more wine than any other country outside of Europe. In fact, many attribute this to the great number of Argentinians who can trace their ancestry back to Spain and Italy.

Combining the best of the old and new worlds, Argentinian wine has evolved into a delicious mix of the best tastes of Europe and South America. For those looking for a traditional dry red or white wine, our Cabernet Sauvignon (red) and Chardonnay (white) are two great options which combine the best of European wine making with Argentina’s idyllic growing conditons.

We also recommend trying Argentina’s Malbecs. Originally from the Cohar in Southwestern France, Malbecs are now the jewel of red wine from Argentina. The Malbec grape is a thin-skinned grape which requires more sun and heat to mature than grapes used in the production of Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot wines.

Malbec grapes ripen mid-season, adding a very pleasant plum-like flavor and complexity to the red wine blends. Furthermore thanks to the Andes mountains, growers in Argentina had the opportunity to experiment with Malbec grapes at different altitudes, producing slight variations in taste. The results have been warmly received by Malbec drinkers, who enjoy the blended flavors obtained from growing the grapes at carefully calculated altitudes.
