Barrel matured for sixteen months in a blend of French and American oak. The fruit is grown on thin loam over the Pirramimma Sandstone formation — a site that gives the wine a refined minerality and fine structure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright, inviting and layered. On the nose you’ll find a swirl of blackberry, plum and dark cherry softened by a hint of raspberries — the signature warmth of Primitivo. That fruit generosity is lifted by subtle peppery spice, a touch of liquorice, and gentle oak-derived whispers of vanilla and dark chocolate, adding depth without heaviness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the palate it’s supple and smooth, with medium-plus body rather than an on-the-nose “brick wall” Shiraz. The plush berry fruits — think juicy blackberries and brambly blueberries — combine with a warm, spicy undercurrent: black pepper, clove, perhaps a hint of dried herbs or leather. The Primitivo contributes lift and brightness, giving the wine a lively acidity and freshness that keeps it drinking easily, while the Shiraz brings savoury depth, a touch of dark-chocolate richness, and a fine-grained tannin backbone that lengthens the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Best Cellars Sydney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47301061083389,"sku":"INKRTJSHZPRIM","price":26.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/6017\/7285\/files\/RoadToJoy.jpg?v=1773894389","url":"https:\/\/bestcellars.com.au\/products\/inkwell-road-to-joy-shiraz-primitivo-2023","provider":"Best Cellars Sydney","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
