This big and bold Argentinian red is the masterful work of flying winemaker Michel Rolland who is part owner of the Clos de los Siete winery in Mendoza. Clos de los Siete is set at the foot of the majestic Andes mountains where the high altitude vineyards help to capture varietal purity and ensure optimal ripeness for the grapes.

Born into a winemaking family and following a glittering career including stints at many of Bordeaux’s top chateaux, Michel Rolland first visited Argentina in 1988 and immediately recognised the winemaking potential of the Mendoza region. Rolland then partnered with the late Jean Michel Arcaute, another top Bordeaux winemaker to found the Clos de los Siete project combining top quality fruit from four bodegas, Monteviejo, Cuvelier los Andes, DiamAndes and Bodega Rolland.

This cuvee is a complex composition of Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot which combine harmoniously to produce a smooth, full-bodied red with plenty of rich dark berry and plum notes. The intense and concentrated flavour profile make this a great match for red meat dishes like steak and frites, hearty beef stews or barbecued meats.

Flechas De Los Andes was born in 2003 out of a collaboration between Baron Benjamin de Rothschild and Laurent Dassault who joined together to found a top winery in the foothills of the mighty Andes mountains. The winery is named after the five arrows or “flechas” in Spanish that are the symbol of the five brothers of the Rothschild family who are known for founding some of the world’s most prestigious wineries in France and beyond.

The winery is located in Mendoza where the high altitude vineyards and sunny summer days are ideal for premium winemaking. Well-draining sandy and gravel soils combined with the cooling breezes from the Andes and higher elevation ensures that the grapes reach maximum ripeness while retaining plenty of freshness and aromatic complexity.

This stunning Malbec is primarily crafted from top quality fruit from Finca Mendel, a historic single vineyard site which was planted in 1928 around the Mendel bodega. The plot sits at an altitude of 900 metres above sea level which helps to preserve aromatics and freshness in the fruit while the age of the vines ensures rich and concentrated flavours. Small quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot are also added to the cuvee to add extra weight and complexity.

Crushed blueberries, cassis and dark plums define the nose along with hints of dried violets while the first sip reveals a generous full body, very smooth texture and firm tannins that will respond well to further cellaring. The wine has been aged in oak barriques for 15 months which adds hints of cloves and cinnamon as well as attractive toasted notes on the long finish.

Built in 1928, Mendel is one of Mendoza’s oldest wineries. In 2002 it was bought by the Sielecki family who have partnered with top Argentine winemaker Roberto de la Mota. The winery’s philosophy is to craft European-inspired wines with ample elegance and ageability and a distinctively Argentinian soul.
