Named Flechas de los Andes in homage to the five arrows(flechas) that symbolise the Rothschild family, the winery was created through the partnership of baron benjamin de Rothschild and Laurent Dassault in their quest for A great terroir at the foot of the Andes.

Bodega Flechas de los andes enjoys an unrivalled setting and a unique terroir thanks to a dry climate, tempered by high altitudes. Here, malbec, a traditional Argentine grape variety, has found an ideal place to thrive. In 1999 Benjamin de Rothschild already had operations with Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons in South Africa and Laurent Dassault was searching for a new project. Together, they purchased property in the centre west of the Province of Mendoza and became some of the very first French to invest in the Vista Flores region in the Uco Valley. Their goal was to create a New World «grand cru», an excellent Argentinian wine, from this little-known but remarkable terroir in the foothills of the Andes.
