Finca Flichman 'Caballero de la Cepa' Malbec is ruby red in colour with violet hues. The aroma is perfumed and complex delivering a combination of violets, cherries and eucalyptus. On the palate, it is concentrated with blackberries, ripe plums and tobacco leaves. Sweet, ripe tannins balance the fruit. The wine is smooth and delivers a long, velvety finish.
The legendary ’Caballero de la Cepa’, first made in 1947, raised the bar for winemakers across the country and is widely recognised as one of Argentina’s first premium wines. The Malbec grapes for this renown wine are sourced from Barrancas's rocky, well-drained vineyards.
About
Vineyards: Grapes for the Caballero de la Cepa Malbec are picked from the Barrancas region in southern Maipú, Mendoza. The vines here are over 50 years old and planted in rocky, well-drained plots situated along the south side of the Mendoza river. The vineyards sit at high altitudes of up to 760 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.
Winemaking: On arrival at the winery, the hand-picked grapes underwent a cold fermentation for two days at 10°C. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at 28°C, with regular open and closed pump overs performed. After 12 days, the wine underwent malolactic conversion. The wine was then aged in used French oak barrels for 12 months and spent a further three months ageing in bottle before release.
