About this deal

Located directly east of San Francisco at the edge of the Sacramento River Delta, the Lodi appellation is noted for its Mediterranean climate, distinctive sandy soils and heritage old vines. 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.

The garnet-colored wine has aromatics of tart red cherry and cranberry, followed by subtle earthy and savory notes. The palate is medium-bodied, with silky textures and bright red fruit that shows a bit darker in profile than the nose. It’s 13.5% ABV. House of the Dragon 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon For fans of Games of Throne (GOT), the wait for the fantasy drama's much-anticipated prequel House of Dragon is still not yet over, but "a taste" in the drama series is now made available in the form of namesake wine range launched by Vintage Wine Estates and Warner Bros. A formidable bold blend that brings to life the crimson majesty of a dragon’s fire. Rich in dark fruit with hints of leather and spice, the elegant structure of Cabernet Sauvignon combines with the brooding fruit depth of shiraz in a full-bodied balance of intensity and character. Best enjoyed while watching dragons soar. 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.The 14.4% ABV wine is dense and jammy, with notes of cherry tobacco and creamy vanilla leading to a long, mouth-coating finish. House of the Dragon 2020 Red Wine The grapes were fermented in a combination of small open-top fermenters and stainless steel fermenting tanks, with selected yeasts propagated from cellars in Burgundy. It was pressed during the last days of fermentation and matured in a combination of small French oak barrels and larger stainless steel tanks for eight months. Facebook HBO’s House of the Dragon is the hotly anticipated prequel to one of the most-watched TV series in history – Game of Thrones. To gear up for this exciting launch of Treasury Wine Estates’ award-winning premium wine brand, Wolf Blass, and Warner Bros. Consumer Products have partnered to launch a limited-edition wine which will be available in August, timed to the launch of House of the Dragon.

Without spoiling the Dragon premiere for those who haven’t yet seen it—but really, what else could you have been doing last night?—we can confirm that wine appears to be as popular as ever in King’s Landing, and that winter seems not so much to be coming in this earlier tale, so Finland’s Game of Thrones–themed igloo hotel may need to be repurposed as a cooling center for those seeking sanctuary from those hot-headed Targaryens and their flame-breathing dragons (or from, you know, Europe’s real-life summer heat crisis). Vintage Wine Estates, one of the fastest-growing wine producers in the U.S. with an industry leading direct-to-customer platform, and Warner Bros. Consumer Products have released a selection of House of the Dragon wines, consisting of three wines, in celebration of “Day of the Dragon”.Tasting Notes - It is enticing on the nose with lovely aromatics, including tart red cherry and cranberry, followed by subtle earthy and savory notes. The palate is medium bodied with silky textures and delicious bright red fruit that shows just a bit darker in profile than the nose. This gem is garnet in color and lingers with a long, fruit filled finish. Tasting Notes - Dense, rich and jammy with scents of cherry tobacco and vanilla crème and a long, mouth coating finish with just a hint of sweetness. House of the Dragon wines includes a vintage 2020 Red Wine, 2021 Pinot Noir and 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon. (pic: handout) For fans of Games of Throne (GOT), the wait for the fantasy drama’s much-anticipated prequel House of Dragon is still not yet over, but “a taste” in the drama series is now made available in the form of namesake wine range launched by Vintage Wine Estates and Warner Bros. 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.
