Manual harvest. 35% aged in French oak barrels, 65% in stainless steel tanks with a 20 day fermentation at a maximum temperature of 16°C without malolactic fermentation.

Wine Identification
The Dedicado Chardonnay 2024 is a white wine produced by Finca Flichman in Argentina. It hails from the Mendoza region, specifically sourced from vineyards located in Tupungato within the Valle de Uco. The vintage for this release is 2024.

Origin and Winemaking
This wine is crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes. The harvest was conducted manually to ensure careful selection of the fruit. Vinification employs a split approach: 35% of the juice undergoes fermentation in French oak barrels, while the remaining 65% ferments in stainless steel tanks. Both portions are subjected to a controlled fermentation period lasting 20 days at a maximum temperature of 16 °C. Notably, the process avoids malolactic fermentation to preserve acidity and freshness.

Regarding aging, 40% of the final blend matures for 10 months in first-use French oak barrels while remaining in contact with its lees. The entire volume then spends an additional two months aging in bottle before release. This method combines the structural influence of new oak with the crispness retained by steel fermentation and the absence of malolactic conversion.

Tasting Profile and Critic Notes
As a white wine from the Valle de Uco, the Dedicado Chardonnay 2024 reflects the cool-climate characteristics typical of this subregion. The winemaking choices—specifically the low fermentation temperatures and lack of malolactic fermentation—suggest a profile marked by vibrant acidity and primary fruit expression, balanced by subtle textural complexity from the lees contact and new oak aging.

The wine has received significant critical acclaim, with Tim Atkin awarding it a score of 96 points. This high rating underscores the quality and precision achieved in this vintage.

Overall Character
Finca Flichman’s Dedicado Chardonnay 2024 presents a sophisticated example of Argentine white wine production. By leveraging specific terroir from Tupungato and employing precise technical interventions, the winery creates a wine that balances oak-derived nuance with fresh, varietal integrity.

Learn more about Finca Flichman

The winery was built in 1873 by Sami Flichman, a Jewish immigrant of Polish origin who planted vines at Barrancas, beside the Mendoza river, in Maipú. It is one of the earliest dates in modern Mendoza wine. The current name only arrived in 1910, when the family business became Finca Flichman.

Today it covers some four hundred hectares split between that founding area of Barrancas and Tupungato, in the Uco Valley, which is where the Chardonnay we carry comes from. Malbec remains the backbone, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc around it.

In 1998 it was bought by the Portuguese group Sogrape, which replanted vineyards and overhauled the winery. The house founded by an immigrant in the nineteenth century ended up, a hundred and twenty-five years later, in Portuguese hands.
