✨ Technical Specifications
Bodega Flechas de los Andes represents a prestigious partnership born in 1999 between Baron Benjamin de Rothschild and Laurent Dassault, aimed at producing an exceptional Argentine Malbec at the foot of the Andes. Located in the high-altitude terroir of Vista Flores in the Uco Valley, Mendoza, the winery's name, 'Flechas' (Arrows), pays homage to the historic five arrows symbol of the Rothschild family. The unique terroir, characterized by granite-gravel soils, intense sunlight, and cool mountain nights, yields grapes of remarkable concentration and freshness. The estate's signature style combines traditional French winemaking precision with the bold, expressive fruit of Argentina, typically aging their premium reds in French oak barrels to achieve a harmonious balance of ripe dark fruit, violet aromas, and elegant, structured tannins.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1933 by the pioneering Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA is an internationally revered wine company anchored in Pauillac, Bordeaux. Alongside governing Premier Grand Cru Classé flagship Château Mouton Rothschild, the house crafts benchmark négociant and estate wines extending across Bordeaux, the Languedoc, and Chile's Maipo and Casablanca Valleys. The viticultural approach pairs high-standard sustainable practices—notably Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) certification and eco-friendly plot selection—with meticulous varietal expression. Across maritime Médoc gravels, Mediterranean limestone clay, and Pacific-cooled Chilean alluvial deposits, winemakers craft crisp, aromatic, and structured white expressions. Notable bottlings include Bordeaux blends such as Sélection Agneau Blanc and Berger Baron Blanc, Languedoc single-varietals like Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc, alongside Chilean representations like Escudo Rojo Chardonnay Reserva and Las Huertas Chardonnay. Each cuvée reflects the firm's exacting balance of pure fruit vibrancy, textural precision, and classical restraint.
