history

Winery 1893

Peter Jordan, who immigrated to the Speyer Monastery in 1708 from Cluses in Savoy , founded the winery in 1718 , which moved to Deidesheim in 1783. After Deidesheim suffered massive destruction by French troops in 1793/94 and his parents died shortly afterwards, the 20-year-old Andreas Jordan (1775-1848) took over the winery. He was the first winemaker in what is now Palatinate to introduce quality viticulture in his winery, including waiting for the right time for the grape harvest until the noble rot , the consistent differentiation of the grape varieties during processing in the cellar, and the preference for noble grape varieties such as Traminer and Riesling . Walls against north winds were erected in the vineyard and northern slopes were elaborately redesigned to become southern slopes. In addition, in 1802 Jordan was the first in the Palatinate to use the name of the vineyard “Deidesheimer Geheu” next to the vintage to identify one of his wines. In this way Jordan was able to achieve higher prices for his wines than other winemakers, and he succeeded in expanding his winery considerably through constant acquisitions; Jordan was able to make purchases especially in crisis years when other winemakers had to give up property at low prices. In 1815 Jordan acquired the Ketschauer Hof in Deidesheim, along with some good vineyards that had previously been owned by Damian Hugo Philipp von Lehrbach , who was Deidesheim's largest winery until then. Many old vintages, including those that were still produced under Andreas Jordan, such as the comet vintage 1811, are still stored in the Bassermann-Jordan wine cellars.

After the death of Andreas Jordan, his property was divided among his children: The Jordan winery remained, which was continued by his son Ludwig Andreas Jordan (1811–1883) based in Kirchgasse; at that time it owned around 62 acres of vineyards. The F. P. Buhl and Deinhard wineries came into being through the inheritance that passed to Andreas Jordan's daughters Josefine and Auguste . Under the direction of Ludwig Andreas Jordans, the winery was a meeting place for numerous liberal and national liberal politicians in Germany. Jordan used trade fairs and exhibitions to increase the awareness of his wines and to be able to market them better; At the First General German Industrial Exhibition in Munich, the winery was awarded the Great Medal because its wines exceeded the quality of the other Palatinate wines. Jordan wines were also honored with medals at the World Exhibition of 1867 in Paris, the World Exhibition of 1873 in Vienna, the World Exhibition of 1876 in Philadelphia and the World Exhibition of 1880 in Melbourne.

Since Ludwig Andreas Jordan had daughters but no male heirs, he wished that the name Jordan would continue to exist. His son-in-law Emil Bassermann (1835–1915), who was married to Jordan's eldest daughter Auguste, merged the two names Bassermann and Jordan after Jordan's death in 1883 with the approval of the Bavarian King Ludwig II. since then, the winery has been called "Bassermann-Jordan" after the new owner.

After the death of Ludwig Andreas Jordan, the winery was initially run by Emil Bassermann-Jordan, he later retired and left the business to his two eldest sons Ludwig Bassermann-Jordan (1869–1914) and Friedrich von Bassermann-Jordan (1872–1959 ). The first had a decisive influence on the German wine law of 1909. Both brothers were instrumental in the formation of the winegrowers' association “Association of Natural Wine Auctioneers of the Rhine Palatinate” and its Germany-wide counterpart “Verband Deutscher Naturweinversteigerer e. V. "(today the Association of German Predicate and Quality Wineries ). The Bassermann-Jordansche Weingut is still a founding member of the VDP today.

After the death of Ludwig Bassermann-Jordan, Friedrich von Bassermann-Jordan continued to run the winery on his own. In 1917 he was raised to the nobility. After his death in 1959, his son Ludwig von Bassermann-Jordan took over the management of the winery until 1995, then his daughter Gabriele von Bassermann-Jordan until 2002. In that year, the owner family sold the winery to the Neustadt entrepreneur Achim Niederberger (1957-2013), to whose group it has belonged since then. Niederberger had the Ketschauer Hof expanded into a hotel and restaurant complex and founded a GmbH to run it; since then - since 2006 - is a major part of the winery operation in neighboring Niederkirchen bei Deidesheim done where by Ilbesheim premises were released after the merger of the local wine cooperative with that.

After Achim Niederberger's death, his wife Jana Seeger became the owner of the winery.

The good

Hochkellerhaus Kirchgasse 10

The headquarters of the winery at Kirchgasse 10 is located in the historic city center of Deidesheim and classified as a cultural monument according to the monument protection law of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate .

It is a late baroque winegrower's farm, the buildings of which are located between Pfarrgasse, Weingasse and Kirchgasse. Directly on Weingasse is a late baroque plastered building , a long high cellar house from 1783 - a building that is seldom found on this scale. It used to be used as a residential building. The keystone from 1783 bears the initials of Peter and Apollonia Jordan, the parents of Andreas Jordan . To the west of the building is a courtyard, around which other buildings from the late 18th and early 19th centuries are grouped, which previously served as a residential house, shed, wine press and barn, but were later structurally changed.
