The Winery
History
Finca Flichman is one of the well established and leading companies in Argentina.
Our story started in 1873, in the area of Barrancas, Maipú, Province of Mendoza, where our first vineyards were planted. Towards the start of 1910, the Flichman family re-inaugurated the property with the name of Finca Flichman. It was Sami Flichman, a visionary pioneer, who developed the first vineyards in a depression formed by the Mendoza River in ancient times.
In 1998, Finca Flichman was acquired by Sogrape, a Portuguese viticultural group renowned as a leader in Portugal and a strong player in the international market. The original winery, surrounded by its vineyards, was preserved, restored and enlarged by their proprietors, and it was endowed with the finest and most advanced winemaking technology.
Flichman’s grapes are harvested from its 310 hectares of vineyards (out of its total 950 hectares) with noble varietals, of which Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Malbec, Merlot and Chardonnay are examples. The vineyards extend over two Mendoza regions: Barrancas, situated at 700 meters a.s.l., and the privileged Tupungato which is situated at 1,100 meters a.s.l.
The expansion of its vineyards, the incorporation of latest-generation equipment and technology and constant personnel training have enabled Finca Flichman to make wines of high quality and personality, which are quite differentiated and which clearly mark a step in the evolution of fine wines from the New World.

Oenological Style
Everything starts at the vineyard. We work with nature, respecting all its aspects. Our aim is to improve at the winery what is given to us by soil, altitude, climate and vineyard.
From Barrancas, 700 meters a.s.l., we can expect wines with ripe fruit, colour, body and volume. From Tupungato, 1,100 meters a.s.l., we can expect fresh fruit, structure and complexity.

Finca Flichman
In 1873, in the area of Barrancas, Maipú, province of Mendoza, our first vineyards were planted. Towards the start of 1910, the Flichman family re-inaugurated the property with the name of Finca Flichman. It was Sami Flichman, a visionary pioneer, who developed the first vineyards in a depression formed by the Mendoza River in ancient times.
Sami was succeeded by his son who had studied oenology in France and put his learning into practice creating fine wines. The top exponent was Caballero de la Cepa, one of the most famous and respected of Argentina's wines. The family continued working the winery until 1983 when it was bought by a business conglomerate of Argentine extraction.
This was but the start. The big change took place in 1998 when the winery was acquired by Sogrape, the Portuguese vitivinicultural group, renowned as the leader in Portugal and a strong player in the international market. A new strategy was immediately implemented, with the objective of strengthening Flichman's leadership in the production of top quality wines possessing a definite Argentine character, destined for global consumption. To obtain this goal, new vines were planted, the winery was expanded, endowing it with the very latest technology. Thus, 100 years of Flichman history faces a new future of perfecting its wines of already top quality.

Finca Flichman is one of the oldest and most respectable wineries in Argentina. Started in 1873 by the Flichman family it is now a subsiduary of Sogrape, Portugal`s largest wine maker.

Flichman`s wines are very popular in Argentina and demand to be drank whilst young, especially the Finca Flichman and Caballero de la Cepa range (it means "knight of the vine").
