Vineyard and Vinification

The grapes for Bernardus Chardonnay are grown in carefully selected vineyards in the Uco Valley. The unique terroir, characterized by chalky soils and a cool maritime climate, allows the grapes to ripen slowly, allowing their aromatic complexity to fully unfold. Like the 0.75-liter version, this Jeroboam is fermented and aged in French oak barrels, some of which are new. The oak aging adds rich, creamy textures and subtle notes of vanilla and toasted nuts. Maturation on the lees ("sur lie") gives the wine additional depth and elegance.

Tasting notes

The Bernardus Chardonnay Jeroboam (3 liters) displays a light golden color in the glass. The bouquet offers rich aromas of ripe pear, apricot, vanilla, and a hint of citrus. On the palate, the wine is full and creamy, with flavors of tropical fruit, butter, and a subtle minerality. The balanced acidity ensures a refreshing and elegant finish, perfectly suited to its larger size.

Serving suggestions

This Jeroboam is ideal for festive dinners, receptions, or special occasions where you want to make a statement. Pair it with dishes like grilled fish, lobster in butter sauce, or a creamy mushroom risotto. Serve at 10-12°C to fully experience the complex flavors.
