Finca Flichman

Finca Flichman is an Argentine producer based in Mendoza, making structured Malbecs and Chardonnays across two distinct vineyard ranges. The house distinguishes itself through precise vineyard management and a two-tier portfolio: approachable, fruit-driven wines under the Tanguero and Misterio labels, and premium single-vineyard and blended expressions from their Dedicado range in the cooler Uco Valley.

About Finca Flichman

Finca Flichman operates across Argentina's most dynamic wine region, leveraging the modernisation that has transformed Argentine viticulture since the 1990s. The producer works with precision viticulture techniques to manage vineyard variation—a critical practice in Mendoza's diverse soils and microclimates. This approach underpins their ability to produce single-vineyard and single-plot wines, a trend now increasingly common among serious Argentine producers.

The estate maintains two distinct vineyard programs. The Tanguero and Misterio lines source from Mendoza's lower elevations, yielding riper, more generous fruit expressions. The Dedicado range focuses on Uco Valley, at higher elevation in the Andes, where cooler conditions build complexity and structure.

Finca Flichman's winemaking reflects broader Argentine industry evolution: investment in modern viticulture technology, careful timing and methods of harvest, clonal selection work, and attention to how terroir expresses in finished wine. The house does not overoak its whites—the Tanguero Chardonnay series is deliberately unoaked, preserving varietal purity and tropical fruit character.

The entry point is the Tanguero range. The 2025 Mendoza Malbec, Finca Flichman Tanguero (86 points) and 2025 Mendoza Unoaked Chardonnay, Finca Flichman Tanguero (86 points) deliver reliable, approachable fruit without pretension—ideal for everyday drinking and food pairing.

The Dedicado range is where Finca Flichman's ambition shows.

The 2022 Gran Corte (91 points: James Suckling 93, Tim Atkin 92) is the most recent release.

Food Pairing

Tanguero Malbecs pair well with grilled beef, chorizo, and herb-crusted lamb—the ripe fruit and moderate tannin suit Argentine asados and charred meats. Reserve the Dedicado Malbecs and Gran Corte blends for richer dishes: slow-roasted brisket, venison, beef with dark chocolate and red wine reduction, or aged cheeses. The unoaked Chardonnays work across seafood, roasted chicken, and creamy pasta dishes; the Tupungato Vineyard Chardonnay, with its mineral spine, pairs especially well with white fish and shellfish.
