The award-winning premium wine brand, Treasury Wine Estates, Wolf Blass, and Warner Bros. Consumer Products have partnered to launch a limited-edition wine commemorating HBO’s House of the Dragon – the wildly successful successor series to Game of Thrones that has been renewed for a second season.
Available in three uniquely striking limited-edition labels, fans can step back into the world of Westeros with the meticulously crafted Wolf Blass’ Fire & Blood Cabernet Shiraz, a deliciously fiery, high quality, classic Australian red blend wine. This matured mix of French and American oaks contains a blend of 52 per cent Cabernet sauvignon and 48 per cent Shiraz which provides elegance, depth and velvety richness. A bright crimson red, the exquisite wine has an aroma of dark fruit – blackberry and ripe plums with a lift of varietal cabernet on the nose, and a hint of savoury spice. The shiraz contributes a mid-palate fruit sweetness, with plush fruit weight, well balanced with structural oak and supportive tannins. Premium parcels have been selected from renowned wine regions across South Australia including Wrattonbully, Barossa, Coonawarra, Langhorne Creek and McLaren Vale- each bringing they own signature mark to the blend.
Chris Hatcher, Wolf Blass Chief Winemaker, said: “This classic Australian blend, was born out of Wolf Blass’ spirited approach to soar above the rest, encapsulating the brand’s refusal to settle and passionately strive for the best through premium, quality, affordable wine.”
“This exciting partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products is the next chapter in the Wolf Blass story, defining the brand’s philosophy now and into the future. It follows Wolfgang Blass’ attitude to life and wine, challenging the status quo and encouraging fans and wine drinkers from around the world to not to settle for anything less than great,” concluded Hatcher.
Wolf Blass’ Fire & Blood Cabernet Shiraz is available in stores from October 1st in Malaysia. Consumers can purchase this limited edition at Jaya Grocer, Cold Storage, Mercato, Urban Fresh, Sunshine Penang, Village Grocer (Gardens Mall), Leisure Grocer Cheras (Leisure Mall), Cellar 18 and Tong Woh Enterprise.
