Maison Wessman - Hot Blood - Chardonnay 2023

Hot Blood Chardonnay 2023

A fresh and beautifully expressive Chardonnay inspired by the melodies of JJ Julius Son, singer of Icelandic band KALEO.

Made from 100% Chardonnay and aged on its lees for five months in stainless steel, it captures the grape’s bright, fruity character while adding a little extra texture and complexity.

Bright pale yellow in colour, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe apricot and peach. The palate is beautifully balanced, combining generous stone-fruit flavours with a refreshing lift and a subtle spicy note on the finish. Fresh, polished and wonderfully easy to enjoy, this is a Chardonnay with plenty of charm and a distinctly modern feel.

And, naturally, there’s a soundtrack: scan the QR code on the back of the bottle to discover an original song by JJ Julius Son while you enjoy the wine.
