Finca Flichman Malbec

In 1873, in the area of Barrancas, Maipú, province of Mendoza, the 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 viti-vinicultural 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.
