Dwersteg honored as a GREEN BRAND for the fifth time
Honored as a sustainable brand
(pm/sp) The international brand marketing organization GREEN BRANDS awarded Germany's “green” brands on 16 May 2022. Distillerie Dwersteg was honored as a sustainable brand for the fifth time this year - after 2013 and 2015 - in the historic town hall in Nuremberg.
Distillerie Dwersteg founded a new product line in 1996. The “Dwersteg Organic” products are made exclusively from organic and fair-trade ingredients. The company was ahead of its time in the mid-1990s and was already rewarded for its efforts: awards, exclusive contracts and partnerships followed.
Over the past decades, the Teriete family has developed the Dwersteg distillery into a leading company for organically produced spirits and liqueurs. Product development, production, bottling and sales are all under one roof at the company's historic site in Steinfurt-Borghorst. Founded in 1882, the family business has always relied on careful manual work and produces all flavors itself. The production facility often smells of lemons or oranges for days on end when Dwersteg's employees peel fresh fruit by hand and process it into fine essences. These are an expression of the Dwersteg philosophy: combining the highest culinary enjoyment with sustainability.
One of Dwersteg's latest products is MoGin. It is part of the distillery's aforementioned “Dwersteg Organic” product line. The ingredients of the gin, which is classified as London Dry Gin, are 100% organic and fairly traded. The botanicals include orange and lavender, which are also clearly perceptible in the spirit. “The gin wave that is currently sweeping across Germany has by no means reached its zenith,” says Managing Director Ludger Teriete. “Gin is a perfect fit for our company,” the Managing Director is convinced. 135 years ago, the first thing that company founder Ludwig Dwersteg sold to the local pubs was juniper. As is well known, the berries also give the gin its unmistakable taste.
One of the many partnerships is with the southern Swedish company Scandinavian Spruce Brewery AB. Together they have created an extraordinary artisanal creation, a gin with spruce shoots from Skåne in southern Sweden - Scandinavian Spruce Gin. The spruce shoots are harvested by hand at the end of May and then dried quickly using a special process before being mixed in fine doses with the other, also exclusively organic, raw materials and ingredients to produce the gin.
