Finca Flichman Tanguero Unoaked Chardonnay 2025
£9.75
The wine
Unoaked Chardonnay is the honest test of a site, since there is no wood to hide behind and the fruit has to carry the wine on its own.
Mendoza sits in the rain shadow of the Andes, a high desert dependent on meltwater irrigation, where altitude rather than latitude keeps the wines fresh. Handled cool from the moment it reaches the winery and fermented in stainless steel, so what reaches the glass is the vineyard rather than the cellar. Finca Flichman was founded in 1873 and works rocky, well-drained plots around Barrancas in Mendoza, with higher sites at Tupungato in the Uco Valley.
The producer
Finca Flichman
View all Finca Flichman winesFinca Flichman is one of Argentina's historic wineries, founded in 1873 and rooted in the vineyards of Mendoza at the foot of the Andes. Over 150 years it has become a benchmark for characterful, well-priced Argentine wine. Malbec, the country's flagship grape, lies at its heart.
The estate draws on vineyards across Mendoza, from the warm plains to the high, cool sites of the Uco Valley. Altitude, intense sunlight and poor soils concentrate the fruit and lend freshness. Flichman farms with sustainability and precision in mind.
The range climbs from the everyday Tanguero and Misterio wines through the Caballero de la Cepa Reserve to the premium Dedicado bottlings from the Uco Valley. Malbec leads throughout, joined by Cabernet, Merlot and Chardonnay. Each tier offers real quality for the price.
Ripe, generous and sun-filled, Flichman's wines capture the spirit of Argentina. They are approachable, dependable and full of Andean character. This is Mendoza at its most rewarding.
