Finca Flichman Caballero de la Cepa Malbec Reserve is a refined Mendoza red, combining generous blackberry, plum and cherry flavours with delicate floral notes, rounded tannins and subtle savoury complexity. Its balance of ripe fruit and freshness makes it particularly appealing to those who enjoy the richness of Argentinian Malbec but prefer a more elegant, measured style.
Produced from mature vines in Barrancas, southern Maipú, and matured in previously used French oak, this is a wine where gentle oak influence complements rather than dominates the fruit. An excellent choice for anyone seeking a characterful, well-balanced Malbec with a little extra complexity, particularly alongside grilled beef, roast lamb or hearty savoury dishes.
Nose: Aromas of ripe black plum and cherry, with delicate violet notes and hints of eucalyptus.
Palate: Generous blackberry and plum flavours complemented by subtle tobacco-leaf complexity. Rounded tannins and fresh acidity provide structure while preserving the wine's approachable character.
Finish: Persistent dark fruit, gentle savoury notes and a balanced, refreshing conclusion.
Caballero de la Cepa comes from mature Malbec vines in Barrancas, southern Maipú, an established wine-growing area of Mendoza. The region's sunny conditions and well-drained soils help the grapes develop generous dark-fruit flavours, while the wine retains the freshness needed for balance.
Maturation for approximately 12 months in previously used French-oak barrels adds gentle savoury complexity and helps integrate the tannins without imposing an overly pronounced oak character. This allows the ripe blackberry and plum flavours to remain central to the wine.
Finca Flichman has been producing wines in Mendoza since 1910, and Caballero de la Cepa has been associated with the estate since 1947. That heritage is reflected in a style which values balance and elegance alongside the generous fruit character of Argentinian Malbec.
Caballero de la Cepa is particularly enjoyable with grilled steak, roast beef or lamb with rosemary and garlic. Its combination of ripe fruit, freshness and savoury complexity also works well with slow-cooked beef, mushroom dishes and mature cheeses.
For a traditional Argentinian pairing, try it with grilled beef and chimichurri, where the wine's fruit and acidity complement the richness of the meat and the freshness of the herbs.
Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Allowing the wine a little time in the glass can help its fruit and subtle savoury aromas develop.
