Joostenberg Estate Bakermat

VINEYARDS

A selection of our best, estate grown, red grapes were used for this wine. Soils are a combination of decomposed granite and shale. Average annual rainfall is approximately 650mm.In order to optimize the influence of terroir the vineyards were managed according to organic principles (certified organic according to EU and US legislation).

VINIFICATION

All the grapes were hand-picked. The Cabernet was de-stemmed and the Syrah, Mourvedre and Touriga Nacional were partially de-stemmed. Fermentation took place in open-topped tanks. Maturation occurred in French oak barrels (30% new) for 18 months. The individual components were fermented separately and then blended after 6 months.

Waterford Estate The Jem

BARREL AGEING

19 Months, 32% new 225L French oak barrels

VINEYARD

All of the components of The Jem blend are sourced from vineyards grown on Waterford Estate. Of the 120-hectare property, 48 hectares of vineyards stretch throughout, offering several distinct soil composition and varietal choices. The combination of extreme mountainous terrain (Stellenbosch/ Helderberg) combined with proximity to two oceans provides a warm region by day but a uniquely cool climate by night.

VINTAGE

Waterford experienced a good long winter, with late rains and cold that delayed pruning. Great windless conditions experienced during flowering resulted in a high-yielding vintage. February temperatures were extremely hot, pushing ripening and making for a quick harvest (especially for white wines). We had the highest recorded tonnages for Waterford Estate to date.
