Winemaker Notes
In 1718 the Jordan family emigrated from Savoy to the Palatinate. Andreas Jordan (1775-1848) established a quality wine estate and thereby laid the foundation stone for the reputation of the estate, which was exclusively under Riesling until 1996. In his footsteps came a long series of respected men: Ludwig Andreas Jordan (1811-1883), Representative of the Frankfurt Parliament and the Federal Parliament; Dr. Ludwig Bassermann-Jordan (1869 - 1914), who greatly influenced the first German wine regulations and who co-founded the Association of Natural Wine Producers (later VDP); Dr. Friedrich von Bassermann-Jordan (1872 - 1959) author of one of the most fundamental works on the history of wine; finally Dr. Ludwig von Bassermann-Jordan (1924-1995), who secured a firm position at the pinnacle of the international wine market for the Bassermann-Jordan wines. His daughter Gabriele and his wife Margrit von Bassermann-Jordan manage the estate today.
