This wine is ruby red in colour with blue hues. The aroma is perfumed and complex - a combination of violets, cherries and oak spice. On the palate, it is concentrated with blackberries, ripe plums and tobacco leaves. Sweet, ripe tannins balance the fruit.
Grapes for the Caballero de la Cepa wines are sourced from Tupungato in the northernmost subregion of the Uco Valley. This site is characterised by its sandy loam soils and the vineyards sit at high altitudes - 1,100 metres above sea level - meaning that there are large temperature differences between day and night. This extends the growing season and helps to retain freshness and finesse in the wines.
Finca Flichman was founded in 1910 by Don Sami Flichman, who emigrated to Argentina from Łódz in Poland. He purchased property in Barrancas (southern Maipú) and planted vines on rocky, well-drained plots along the Mendoza River. It was Sami’s son Isaac who first began to make fine wine at the estate. Having received his oenology training in France, Isaac and winemaker Raúl de la Mota created ‘Caballero de la Cepa’, one of the first high-quality wines that garnered international awareness for premium Argentinian wines.
