Description
In a nutshell:
A Malbec that's not shy about its Malbec-ness. It's all brawn and black cherry with a cheeky wink of oak, like a rugby player with a penchant for rose gardens.
The lowdown:
Close your eyes and picture a sun-drenched vineyard - that's the first impression of this Argentinian Malbec. Deep ruby with a hint of blue around the edges, it's all juicy black cherries and violets, with a whisper of spice hinting at a bit of time spent snoozing in oak barrels. The vineyards are found on rocky slopes by the Mendoza River where the dramatic temperature swings between day and night coax the grapes into ripening slowly, giving the wine its richness and smooth tannins. All in all, it's an unpretentious charmer, perfect for a Tuesday night that deserves a touch of elegance.
The Producer:
Finca Flichman is a classic Argentinian winery with roots stretching back to 1910. From its humble beginnings in Barrancas, its wines found international renown thanks to visionary winemakers like Isaac Flichman. Since 1998, the Sogrape group has brought a modern touch, expanding vineyards into the revered Uco Valley. This high-altitude spot, with its cool nights and long ripening season, brings elegance to their wines. Finca Flichman remains a benchmark for Argentinian wine, supported by experts like Alberto Antonini and Pedro Parra, ensuring continued quality and a keen eye on the region's unique terroir.
When to drink:
Pop the cork on this spicy red whenever a sizzling steak or a fragrant tagine tempts your taste buds.
