ABOUT THIS WINE
Wi Sjåssum is a bespoke sparkling wine commissioned by Mikaela and Björn Friström, the owners of the historic Kungshaga Hotell in Orsa, Dalarna, Sweden. The project was born out of a desire to have a dedicated house wine for the hotel's many weddings and celebrations. After struggling to find a local partner for a small-scale production, a chance encounter with a hotel guest connected Mikaela with the prestigious Boisset family in France. The name 'Wi Sjåssum' translates to 'We meet' in Orsamål, the ancient local dialect of Orsa, welcoming guests to gather and celebrate together.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Crafted by Boisset Effervescence in France, this sparkling wine is produced using the Charmat (tank) method to emphasize fresh, vibrant primary fruit characteristics. The blend of classic French white grape varieties was tailored to meet a specific flavor profile requested by the hotel: crisp, dry, and highly refreshing. To support environmental sustainability, the wine is bottled in lightweight glass bottles weighing under 420 grams, which significantly reduces carbon emissions during transport from France to Sweden.
