Wolf Blass House Of The Dragon Red Wine, 75cl

Product Information

Shiraz contributes a rich, mid-palate fruit sweetness and plush fruitweight, enhanced by well-balanced structural oak and long, supportive Cabernet tannins. I AM a self-confessed Game of Thrones addict and had read all the books way before the series came to our screens. Therefore, I have to admit I was a touch sceptical about the launch of a red wine to coincide with HBO’s House of the Dragon, a prequel following the history of the Targaryen family 100 or so years before Daenerys encountered the White Walkers; but I should not have worried. According to Delish, the wine is bottled by a division of Vintage Wine Estates cleverly calling itself Seven Kingdoms Cellars in honor of the kingdoms of Westeros.

Ben Blake, Head of Marketing EMEA at Treasury Wine Estates, adds; “Wolf Blass was born from the spirit of its founder to never settle but soar above the rest. The opportunity to therefore partner with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on a House of the Dragon-inspired wine was a no brainer. House of the Dragon wines includes a vintage 2020 Red Wine, 2021 Pinot Noir and 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon.

Martin’s Fire & Blood, the series, which is set 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” tells the story of House Targaryen. Julian Moon, Senior Vice President, Warner Bros.
