TREFETHEN FAMILY VINEYARDS Dragon's Tooth 2021 75cl

Trefethen’s Dragon’s Tooth pays homage to the family’s Welsh heritage — a nod to Catherine Trefethen, whose love of wine and family helped shape the estate. “Y Ddraig Goch”, the Welsh red dragon, proudly marks this bold and expressive blend, grown on the rockiest soils of their Oak Knoll vineyard.

The wine opens with pronounced aromas of blueberry, plum, cassis, and deeper notes of leather and molasses. On the palate, it is rich, structured, and substantial, carrying waves of dark fruit into a long, gently toasty finish. Its earthy depth makes it a natural partner for smoked meats, caramelised vegetables, and slow-cooked dishes; grilled onions, peppers, and spicy sausage are particularly inspired pairings.

Widely acclaimed, Dragon’s Tooth continues to prove itself as one of Napa Valley’s standout blends.
