Technical Details
Winery Technical Data
The winery (or bodega) called FLECHAS DE LOS ANDES was born from the partnership between Baron Benjamin de Rothschild and Laurent Dassault, as the result of their research of a great terroir at the foot of the Andes in the Mendoza region.
Each harvest is handpicked, hand selected, and then fermented with high quality requirements in the most modern equipment.
The name "Fiechas de los Andes" or "Andes arrows" refers to the 5 arrows, symbol of the Rothschild family (symbolizing the five brothers at the origin of this dynasty of entrepreneurs). At the foot of the Andes, 120 km south of Mendoza, the Malbec variety rules as the king of this uruque
terroir.
This wine "Gran Malbec " was created to achieve a Malbec of high range, faithful representative of the both families Rothschild and Dassault are aiming to produce a great Argentinian malbec.
