Nuestra historia comienza en 1873,
en la zona de Barrancas, Maipú, donde se plantaron
las primeras viñas.Hacia 1910 la familia Flichman
reinauguró la bodega con el nombre de Finca Flichman.
Sami Flichman, pionero y visionario, desarrolló
las primeras viñas en una hondonada surgida del
paso del río Mendoza en tiempos lejanos. En 1998
la empresa es adquirida por el grupo vitivinícola
Sogrape (perteneciente a la familia Guedes) líder
en Portugal y reconocida por su fuerte presencia en
los mercados internacionales. La bodega original, rodeada
por sus propios viñedos, se preservó,
restauró, amplió y dotó de la más
alta tecnología. Con 950 hectáreas, las
uvas provienen de las 310 hectáreas plantadas
con variedades nobles. Sus viñas se extienden
en dos regiones de Mendoza: Barrancas, a 700 metros
sobre el nivel del mar y la privilegiada zona de Tupungato,
a 1.100 metros.

Mediante la expansión
de los viñedos, la incorporación de tecnología
de última generación y la capacitación
constante de su gente, Finca Flichman ha logrado elaborar
vinos de alta calidad y personalidad bien diferenciada
que, sin duda, le garantizan un lugar de privilegio en
la evolución de los vinos finos del Nuevo Mundo.
Our story started in 1873, in the area of Barrancas, Maipú,
province of Mendoza, where our first vineyards were planted.
Towards the begining of 1910, the Flichman family re-inaugurated
the property with the name of Finca Flichman. It was Sami
Flichman, a visionary pioneer, who developed the first
vineyards in a depression formed by the Mendoza River
in ancient times. In 1998 Finca Flichman was acquired
by Sogrape, a Portuguese viticultural group renowned as
a |
leader
and a strong player in the international market. The original
winery, surrounded by its vineyards, was preserved, restored
and enlarged by their proprietors, and it was endowed
with the finest and most advanced technology. Flichman
has 950 hectares, and its grapes are harvested from the
310 hectares of vineyards with noble varietals. The vineyards
extend over two Mendoza regions: Barrancas, situated at
2,297 feet, and the privileged Tupungato which is situated
at an altitude of 3,642 feet above sea level. The expansion
of its vineyards, the incorporation of latest-generation
equipment and technology, and constant personnel training
have enabled Finca Flichman to make wines of high quality
and personality, which are quite differentiated and which
clearly mark a step in the evolution of fine wines from
the New World. |
