Sami Flichman, a Jewish immigrant of Polish origin, acquired the vineyard in 1910 after he won the winery in a card game. His son Isaac has continued with the development of the vines and wines. After finishing his studies in Mendoza and France and looking to increase the quality of the wines from Argentina, he planted vines in rocky, well-drained plots situated along the Mendoza river in Barrancas, southern Maipu. In the late 50s, he launched the first premium wine from Argentina called Caballero de la Cepa, one of the first high-quality wines that garnered international awareness.
Sogrape Vinhos purchased Finca Flichman in 1998 and invested heavily in restoring the vineyards and equipping the winery with modern equipment. Nowadays Finca Flichman has vineyards in Barrancas, Maipu and Tupungato in the Uco Valley.
