Our Vineyard
Mira Mira Wines makes Malbec and Rosé from our vineyard in Perdriel, a district of Luján de Cuyo in Mendoza, Argentina. The vineyard was planted in 1927. For almost a century it was family-owned, passed down from generation to generation. We, the current owners, bought it in 2021. The vines turn 100 in 2027, and the harvest in the first months of that year is their centennial harvest.
The vineyard
Perdriel is in Luján de Cuyo, one of the districts of Mendoza, at the foot of the Andes.
Mendoza is a desert. Very little rain falls, and the sun is strong for most of the year. The water that makes farming possible comes from the snow on the mountains. It melts through spring and summer and runs down to the vineyards on the plain.
The seasons run the other way from the north. In Mendoza, vines bud around October and flower in November. The grapes come in during late summer and early autumn, roughly March and April.
The wines
We make three wines from the vineyard:

Toward 100
The vines were planted in 1927, and in 2027 they turn 100. The harvest in early 2027 is their centennial harvest. We have looked after the vines since 2021, and we are keeping notes through the seasons leading up to it. They start with spring in Mendoza.
