About this deal

A multi-district South Australian blend sourced from premium grape growing regions including Wrattonbully, the Barossa, Coonawarra, Langhorne Creek and McLaren Vale. This wine was chosen as a House of the Dragon varietal as a true show stopper that soars above the rest. 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. It’s aged in medium-toast French oak barrels for nine months to smooth off the rough edges and bottled at 13.

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. The palate is medium bodied with silky textures and delicious bright red fruit that shows just a bit darker in profile than the nose.

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. HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, premiered last night, starring the ancestors of all of our favorite and least favorite Targaryens, generally participating in all the same violence and scandal that we’ve come to expect from the series inspired by author George R.

The brand utilizes a different winemaker for each varietal and growing region to create wines that represent each appellation. Winemaker Notes - Gentle techniques in the cellar and imagination in the vineyard achieved a fruit-driven style. Winemaker Nancy Walker enlisted multiple California wine-growing regions to source fruit for this Cabernet Sauvignon, creating a final blend that’s rich and complex. Ripening conditions were cool to mild without any heat spikes allowing for slow even development of flavours with bright acid retention.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. Aging took place in a combination of small French oak barrels and larger stainless steel tanks for 8 months.

The prequel to Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, is set to premiere its first episode on August 21st. Good spring rain filled soil profiles and encouraged even budburst and the establishment of healthy canopies. 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. To make this red blend, winemaker Tami McKay leaned on the classics—it’s a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Zinfandel, 20% Petite Verdot and 8% Malbec.Cabernet Sauvignon is undeniably the king of all varietals and takes the crown above any other grape. 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. The shiraz grape contributes a mid-palate fruit sweetness, with plush fruit weight, well balanced with structural oak and supportive tannins.
