The wines were created in the summer of 2024, by JJ and Robert, at the Maison
Wessman winery in France, blending countless samples from barrels in the
maison's cellar, under the supervision of oenologist Julien Viaud, of Michel
Rolland and Associates.

JJ and Robert will formally launch the collection on Feb. 10, 2024, at the
global trade fair "WineParis."

"We are excited to embark on this journey together," said Robert Wessman. "The
goal is to create wines that not only delight the palate but also tell a story
of friendship and collaboration."

JJ Julius Son added, "This project is a dream come true. Combining my love for
music with the art of winemaking is a unique opportunity, and I can't wait to
share these wines with the world."

The wine collection includes two white wines, from 100% Chardonnay grapes, and
two red wines, blends of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The wine
bottles features a QR code, which gives access to an original song by JJ,
titled "One More Glass of Wine." The song remains unreleased and can only be
accessed by scanning the QR code on the bottle.

Robert Wessman is an Icelandic entrepreneur. Maison Wessman, known for
high-quality wines from the vineyards of Chateau de Saint-Cernin and Vignoble
des Verdots, is a passion project founded by Robert and his wife Ksenia.

JJ is the leader of KALEO and has led the band to international fame, with
such hits as "Way Down We Go" and "All the Pretty Girls." He is known for his
one-of-a-kind voice and songwriting prowess.

Robert and JJ both grew up in the small village of Mosfellsbaer, outside
Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. Their drive and individual talent have
vaulted them to international success within their respective fields.

Wines from the collection will be ready to order in February 2025.
