The matriarchy is a rare form of society in German viticulture that only goes beyond the marginal existence of the anecdotal in progressive vine regions. The Palatinate, which has always been a pioneer in Wingert and Keller, also belongs to the spearhead in the emancipation of winegrowers from winegrowers and can even boast with the winegrowing village of Forst, a place in which two member companies of the Association of German Prädikatsweingüter are run by women. Anna-Barbara Acham-Magin has been at the helm of her three-hundred-year-old estate for decades, has long since secured a place of honor among the grandes dames of the Palatinate winegrowers and still lends a side-step waiting and cooking in her broom tavern.Just a hundred meters away, Sabine Mosbacher-Düringer has ruled her vineyard since 1992 and would have celebrated the centenary of the family winery with a lavish party this year, had it not been for a global spoiler of fun.

The children of Forster fruit and cattle farmer Georg Mosbacher founded the Georg Mosbacher Erben winery in 1921 and had no choice but to impose rigorous quality standards from day one. Because their locations were in the heart of Mittelhaardt on the Golden Mile of Palatinate viticulture, which Forst forms together with its neighboring villages Deidesheim and Wachenheim. These villages are lined up like three pearls on the string of the German Wine Route, with their magnificent goods made of red sandstone testify to the centuries-old tradition of the Palatinate wine industry and, with their patios full of oleanders and magnolias, olive and lemon trees, give an idea of howwhy the Palatinate is a bulge of the Mediterranean on the other side of the Alps - what the many jet-black hairs of the locals speak for, a genetic inheritance of the extremely familiar dealings between Roman legionaries and the indigenous people of the Palatinate. The people here are more relaxed than anywhere else in Germany. Here the Saumagen tastes like a delicacy even with the last village butcher. And here a fabulous tourist infrastructure has developed in recent years, ranging from the Palatinate-Japanese fusion pop-up restaurant in the idyllic Wingert to the architecturally highly ambitious designer hotel in the baroque estate.The people here are more relaxed than anywhere else in Germany.
