The grapes aren’t sourced from Westeros but the blends deserve a seat on the Iron Throne.
In honor of HBO’sHouse of the Dragonpremiere, Vintage Wine Estates and Warner Bros. Consumer Products have collaborated to debut three red wines.
Each blend is as unique as each kingdom. The 2021 Pinot Noir was sourced from four areas in Oregon (Applegate Valley, Illinois Valley, Rogue Valley and Willamette Valley) and then aged in French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. The result is a wine with notes of cherry and cranberry.
The 2020 red blend is a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Verdot, Malbec and Zinfandel aged in French oak. This California wine has a mix of flavors like toffee and maple with dark red fruit.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon has some of the warm tastes of the red blend with tobacco and vanilla flavors. After spending at least nice months in a French oak barrel, the California wine then spends three months in aged bourbon barrels.
House of the Dragon wines are available nationally athouseofthedragonwines.comfor $20 each.
Set roughly 200 years beforeGame,House of the Dragonis yet another tale about the endless struggle to determine who gets to occupy the Iron Throne, PEOPLE’S Tom Gliatto says inhis review of the series.
This time, though, we focus on the squabbles within the house of Targaryen,the dynasty that will ultimately produceGame’s Daenerys Targaryen. Like her, the Targaryens have long white-blond hair and look like a medieval line of Barbies. King Viserys (Paddy Considine) wants a male heir, but a son perished, forcing him (reluctantly) to consider his young daughter Rhaenyra as successor.
House of the Dragonairs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
