Flechas de Los Andes
Flechas de Los Andes is a joint venture established in 1999 in the Valle de Uco, Mendoza, between the Edmond de Rotschild family, one of the most famous Bordeaux dynasties in the wine world, and Laurent Dassault, a well-known French entrepreneur.

The winery was part of the Clos de Los Siete project, a wine-growing reality founded in Argentina by 7 Bordeaux families with the common goal of enhancing the local wine landscape. A few years later, the Rotschilds and Laurent Dassault chose to continue their winemaking adventure completely independently. “Flechas de los Andes” literally means “arrows of the Andes”. The name is a tribute to the emblem of the Rotschild family, where 5 arrows representing the 5 sons of the dynasty's founder, Mayer Amschel Rotschild, are depicted. The structure housing the winery, located right at the foot of the Andes mountain range, impresses with the unique architecture, a reinterpretation of traditional Argentine constructions.

The climate is continental, sunny, and dry, with significant temperature variations between day and night, while the soils, of alluvial origin, are rich in gravel, stones, and minerals.
