TASTING NOTES: “Color: Lesser skin-contact time has brought about a slightly lighter rose-gold Rosé hue. Very much in vogue and extremely pleasing to the beholder.

Nose: Alluring sweet notes of peaches, strawberries, cream and candyfloss. Subtle notes of cinnamon and Cabernet herbaceousness combine perfectly to entice further investigation.

Palate: Wonderfully round and vivacious, but still exuding class! Our Rosé is elegant and full, with a very opulent creamy textural palate weight. It is both indulgent and just plain delicious.” (AbV 12.5%, pH 3.43, TA 5.7 g/L, RS 4.3 g/L)

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Mold.

Not in the sense you’re thinking. You probably thought of the fungus. And if I’d said “a” mold, you might’ve also thought of the thing you pour liquid materials in to shape them. But, in fact, there is a third option! Because mold can also refer to loose, nutrient-rich soil.

How did we end up with three definitions to a single word like mold? Well, each of them have a different etymological lineage. Molds for casting goes back to Latin and French roots. Mold on your bread comes from Old Norse. And mold as soil came from Old English. English came to incorporate all three over time, and further down the line they would all end up spelled the same way in modern day.
