Overview
 |
Feather & Folly Gin opens with distinct aromas of juniper berries, fresh orange zest and coriander spice.

Facts
BOTANICALS: Angelica, Black Lime, Coriander, Juniper Berries, Licorice Root, Orange Zest.
PRODUCTION: Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are harvested from Goose Ridge vines and pressed. The pressed grapes are then fermented until dry, about 12-15% ABV. Following fermentation, the wine is pumped into the still. The alcohol is separated from the wine while distilling through a series of 24 copper distillation plates. The batch is then macerated with the six signature botanicals for up to 48 hours. At the peak of maceration, the botanicals are separated from the mixture and double distilled using a copper pot still. Lastly it is chill filtered and blended using pure water to showcase the essence of the botanicals. This new age gin is hand bottled at a slightly higher ABV to assure a bright, full-flavored spirit. Vegan and Gluten-Free.
LABEL INSPIRATION: The six signature botanicals used in Feather & Folly Gin are hidden throughout label, designed by a tattoo artist. The swallow featured on the label is not only a nod to the classic tattoo theme but also the biodiverse ecosystem the vineyards rely on.
FAMILY: In the early 1900s, M.L. Monson brought his family to the Yakima Valley. He came with a love for the land and the dream of
building a family farming business that would continue for generations. The family’s initial focus was on orchards and cattle, but after talking with Dr. Walter Clore, the visionary behind Washington’s wine industry, Arvid Monson built on his father’s legacy in establishing vineyards on the arid hills and in the valleys around Richland. That became Goose Ridge Estate Vineyards & Winery. Today, Goose Ridge is one of the most renowned and progressive of Washington State’s nearly 1,000 wineries.
