On Tuesday this week, the Zelmerlöw & Björkman Foundation hosted its annual gala, the Zelmerlöw & Björkman Invitational, to raise money for the foundation´s work with children and young people. The fundraising gala took place at the Hamburger Börs in Stockholm and was organised thanks to the generous support of partners, donors, artists and volunteers. They were able to raise over SEK 5.6 million that evening.

The funds raised will enable the Zelmerlöw & Björkman Foundation to continue their work to provide children and young people in Kenya with education and tools to influence their future. For example, more young people living in vulnerability can be given the opportunity to start in high school, ZBF can fulfil the demand for new vocational training, more scholarships can be awarded and they can expand digital vocational training to reach even more people who for various reasons do not have the opportunity to come to school.

If you would like to support the Zelmerlöw & Björkman Foundation and help them to continue their work and give even more children and young people education, strength and confidence for the future, please visit their website: Zelmerlöw & Björkman Foundation

Måns Zelmerlöw, the talented artist and creator behind a range of popular wines, is now presenting his latest addition to the wine world – an exclusive and limited edition of the premium wine, MZ Cape Collection. Only 1,000 bottles of this unique red wine will be available for sale in Systembolaget´s special order assortment starting October 30, priced at 329 SEK per bottle.

South Africa has always held a special place in Måns Zelmerlöw´s heart. It was here, among the rolling vineyards and lush climate, that his passion for wine was born. MZ Cape Collection is an expression of Måns´ strong connection to South Africa, capturing the country´s unique wine traditions and terroir.

MZ Cape Collection 2020 is an elegant red wine with a deep ruby color and an aroma palette of dark and red fruits. The taste is medium-bodied, offering juicy and spicy notes with well-balanced acidity, followed by a pleasant and long finish.

This premium wine comes from the renowned Napier Vineyards in Wellington, located in South Africa´s Western Cape province. Here, at the foot of the Hawequa Mountains, wines with character and personality are created, focusing on quality and sustainable wine production. The wine is a blend mainly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, with smaller proportions of Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot – a well-balanced combination to create a complex and well-balanced wine.

"Creating MZ Cape Collection is a dream come true. South Africa has always held a special place in my heart, as it was there that I found my great interest in wine. I am so proud of MZ Cape Collection; it is an exclusive wine that is powerful yet elegant, just the way I like it!" says a delighted Måns Zelmerlöw.

The bottle´s beautiful label was created by Måns´ wife, Ciara Zelmerlöw, who is an artist. Ciara´s unique perspective and creativity have brought the design to life, making each bottle a work of art. A collaboration that both spouses have greatly enjoyed. Ciara excitedly shares:

"It has been fantastic to be part of the development of Måns´ latest wine! Especially knowing that South Africa is dear to his heart and that this launch means a lot to him. It has been an inspiring process where I strived to capture both the character of the wine and Måns´ love for South Africa. It turns out we make a great team, even in this setting."

The 2020 vintage was characterized by a dry climate, resulting in small, flavorful grapes with impressive color and concentration. The cool weather during the harvest provided optimal conditions for creating a wine of high quality and deep flavors. The unique climate in Wellington, with its combination of warm days and cool nights, creates excellent conditions to highlight the complexity and elegance that characterize the region´s wines.
MZ Cape Collection is an excellent companion to flavorful dishes, especially from Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, as well as aged cheeses. Decant the wine and serve at 16-18 degrees celsius for best experience.

The wine will be launched in Systembolaget´s special order assortment on October 30th, 2024, and will be available in a limited edition of only 1000 bottles.

In recent years, he has already hinted several times that he is not averse to competing again at Melodifestivalen and also again at the Eurovision Song Contest, with the dream of winning the ESC for a second time. Loreen's repeat victory has thrown a spanner in the timing of his works, but now rumours are swirling that he wants to take the step again to mark the 10th anniversary of his victory with Heroes, and after 20 years as a public artist.

He recently hinted on his summer tour that he could possibly compete at Melodifestivalen next year and the Swedish Schlagerfesten podcast has also heard from several reliable sources that Måns should have submitted at least one song. It is said to be a real banger and he is also said to be in contact with the choreographer of Heroes, Cha Cha Cha and The Code, Fredrik ´Benke´ Rydman, for his performance.

We will therefore be following the news about Melodifestivalen with excitement, especially when the participants are announced at the end of November.

Måns has already spent many of his summers in Båstad. So far, however, he has been unable to find a really good place to drink coffee, so he is now opening one himself.

From next Monday (8 July), coffee, wine and simple food will be served from the garden in front of the tennis museum in a converted horsebox. The coffee served will be roasted by Måns under his own brand and the wines will also come from MZ Wines. There will also be paninis and cakes to satisfy hunger pangs.

During the high season, the wagon is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm on Sundays to Thursdays and to 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and can be found at Köpmansgatan 2 in Båstad. When he's not on tour, Måns will also serve some coffee or wine from the wagon from time to time.

The new Polish version of "Walk With Me - Chodź ze mną", which Måns Zelmerlöw recorded together with Polish singer Ola Kędra, can now be heard on all streaming platforms. Anyone attending the Överallt men Ingenstans tour in Poland will also be able to hear the new single live from both of them in August, as Ola will be accompanying him there as the opening act.

An official lyrics video has also been released for the single, which can now be seen on YouTube.

Måns Zelmerlöw, the talented artist who constantly surprises and delivers, once again takes the stage in the world of wine. With great passion and dedication, Måns has been involved in creating Hola MZ Mi Corazón - a full-bodied, generous, and elegant red wine made from the Monastrell grape. The grape, also known as Mataró in Catalonia, has its origins in Spain and has become synonymous with powerful and flavourful wines often described as possessing a distinct and characteristic flavour profile. Its unique characteristics include a robust structure, full flavours of dark berries such as blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, as well as subtle notes of pepper and chocolate.

The wine year 2022 in Spain was characterised by challenging weather conditions, with a long, hot summer and dry conditions. Despite this, the harvest, which was about two weeks earlier than usual, showed surprisingly good quality and yield. In terms of quality, the vintage is often described as "exceptional", "almost perfect", or even "the best ever seen."

Måns Zelmerlöw proudly shares his experience in this wine project: "My heart beats extra fast for Hola MZ Mi Corazón! Being part of the creation of this wine together with Joan Solér, from the choice of the Monastrell grape to the design and the region, has been like composing a love song to Spain, where each note symbolises my passion for its rich culture and amazing flavours. My hope is that everyone who tastes the wine can feel my heart, my story, and my dedication in every glass."

Hola MZ Mi Corazón by Måns Zelmerlöw will be launched in Systembolaget's order range on 7 February 2024 and costs 249 SEK.
