The winery is located in the municipality of Forst (Mittelhaardt/Deutsche Weinstraße area) in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. It was founded in 1950 by Günther Lucas and his mother Margareta. Today, the farm is run by Franz and Elisabeth Lucas. After training and studying, they have been supported since 2011 by their son Martin and daughter Yvonne, who have been taking over responsibility bit by bit ever since.

The vineyards cover 17 hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Jesuitengarten, Musenhang, Pechstein and Ungeheuer (Forst), as well as Herrgottsacker (Deidesheim). They are planted with the white wine varieties Riesling (70%), Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Auxerrois, Sauvignon Blanc, Rieslaner and Scheurebe, as well as with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Dornfelder, St. Laurent and Blauer Portugieser. Since 1999, we have been working according to the guidelines of controlled environmentally friendly viticulture in Rhineland-Palatinate. These include species-rich cover crop, controlled fertilisation with manure and own compost, as few pesticides as possible and the promotion of beneficial insects. The aim is to preserve biodiversity (species diversity) and to protect the vineyard as a habitat for many plants and insects.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
