Finca Flichman Dedicado

Finca Flichman, in southern Maipú, Mendoza, is one of Argentina’s oldest and most prestigious wineries. It was founded in 1910 by Don Sami Flichman, who emigrated to Argentina from Łódz, Poland and established the estate's first vineyards on the rocky, well-drained plots within the town of Barrancas. In 1947, Don’s son Isaac and winemaker Raúl de la Mota created ‘Caballero de la Cepa’, one of the first premium Argentinian wines to have international success. Today, winemaking is overseen by Rogelio Rabino, supported by acclaimed consultant and winemaker Alberto Antonini, as well as renowned soil and vineyard mapping expert Pedro Parra.

Sogrape, owned by the Guedes family, purchased Finca Flichman in 1998, investing heavily in restoring the vineyards and modernising the winery. In addition to the original Barrancas vineyard, they also expanded to the higher elevations of Tupungato in the Uco Valley in Mendoza. At the foot of the Andes, these vineyards benefit from large diurnal temperature variations, resulting in longer ripening seasons and more elegant styles.

Dedicado

For decades, Finca Flichman’s best wine was guarded in the family cellar, and bottles were given only as gifts. Each had a handwritten label that read ‘dedicado a amigos’ (‘dedicated to friends’), which became the inspiration behind Finca Flichman’s flagship series ‘Dedicado’, made from the best, hand-harvested estate vineyards in the Uco Valley. The `Dedicado Malbec` and `Gran Corte` (a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Syrah) are both aged for 12 months in French oak barrels with an additional year spent in bottle
