Production Details Bakermat, meaning "birth-place" or "cradle" in Dutch, pays homage to Joostenberg, home of the Myburgh family for 6 generations. This is the premium red wine from the estate and every effort has been taken to ensure that it is a genuine expression of the Joostenberg terroir. Average annual rainfall is approximately 650mm. In order to optimize the influence of terroir the vineyards were managed according to organic principles. All the grapes were hand-picked. 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 (20% new) for 20 months.
