The idea of creating your own gin was born in Kaiserslautern in 2010. Even a gin fan and collector, it was always the intention to produce a gin with a local connection. That's why it quickly became clear that the upcoming gin should have a fine wine note. This idea was finally tackled in 2018 and developed to market maturity in 2019. The deep roots to the Palatinate (I was born in Lautrer) and the wine-growing region Nahe (the center of my life today), the choice quickly fell on a grape variety that should find its way into the gin - the Pinot Gris.
MONUMENT owes its name to the music group Röyksopp. The duo released the Do It Again EP in 2014. The first track is Monument, which was recorded together with singer Robyn.
Especially the passage "I can say I did it all with love" is my leitmotif for this gin. I firmly believe that you can taste the passion and love in this gin and that's why I only use exquisite botanicals that meet my quality standards.
