More about this product
Bassermann-Jordan
The Pfalz is bordered on the north by Rheinhessen and on the south and west by France. For 80 kilometers, only vines stretch in front of you. This is the second largest wine region in Germany, but often the first in terms of production. The history of the Bassermann-Jordan winery is linked to the history of wine production in Pfalz. In 1718, Pierre Jordan bought the family's first vineyards in Pfalz, and Johann-Peter Jordan built the winery in Deidesheim sixty-five years later. At the turn of the century, Andreas Jordan was one of the first winemakers to vinify each plot with Riesling separately. The marriage between the Bassermann and Jordan families added the name Bassermann to the winery in 1883. The world-famous German writer and admirer of wine, Goethe, was a client in the early 19th century. Today, Bassermann-Jordan is among the top echelons in the world of wine estates.

Pfalz
Pfalz is the second largest and one of the most important wine regions in Germany with about 23,500 hectares of vineyards. Only Rheinhessen, to the north, produces more wine than Pfalz. The vineyards are enclosed in a magnificent landscape that is home to a variety of grape varieties. The Pfalz region is also significant for German history, as it played a central role during the Roman Empire. The vineyards border the Rheinhessen wine region to the north and the French region of Alsace to the south. The region is divided into two distinct zones. The breathtaking surroundings include the Haard mountain range, which is covered with vegetation, castle ruins, rows of fruit trees, orchards, and ancient villages. Production in the Pfalz wine region is characterized by the use of modern technologies, but also traditional viticultural methods. Wine tourism significantly contributes to the economy of Pfalz, and many tourists visit the Wine Route. This tourist route was established in 1935 and still attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors to the region every year. It is one of the warmest wine regions in Germany. Summers are dry but not overly hot, while winters are mild. The climate is mild enough for grape varieties and other crops to thrive and grow well. The soil is quite diverse throughout the region, with patches of sand, limestone, marl, loess, granite, and several isolated patches of slate. In the northern part of the Pfalz region, the most common soil is limestone, while in the southern part of Pfalz, loess and clay soil are more frequently found.

Riesling
Riesling is an aromatic white grape variety that produces wine in the entire range - from botrytized sweet (one of the best in the world) to dry and semi-dry varieties, with captivating aromas of citrus and stone fruits, as well as the typical petroleum aroma, which in certain terroir appearances can dominate sensitively. Riesling's homeland can be said to be the valleys of the Rhine and Moselle rivers in Germany - the variety likes cooler weather. Naturally, here are the main wine regions of the country (Moselle, Rheinhessen, Rheingau, Pfalz). The vineyards are located on the steep hills, making mechanisation difficult, so here the viticultural activities are mainly manual. The wines from these regions are fresh and with a pronounced acidity. However, Riesling in Germany is by no means the main variety, in fact another is the wine region in which this variety is most common - and this is Alsace in France (or Elsaß in German). Unlike the German Riesling, the French Riesling is more saturated and lush due to the specifics of the microclimate there - the Vosges Mountains provide protection from northern winds and cold, and the sun is more generous in this southern region. Outside of these countries, perhaps Austria also presents itself with an interesting reading of this often called king of white varieties, and some countries of the New World successful experiment with it as well.
