{"product_id":"2024-nick-oleary-heywood-riesling","title":"2024 Nick O'Leary Heywood Riesling","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf we're talking about Canberra District Riesling, Nick O'Leary's name is always going to be front and centre. Operating out of the Murrumbidgee River corridor just past the ACT border, Nick has an absolute knack for capturing the pristine, electric character of the region while injecting plenty of his own personality into the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Heywood is his single-vineyard release from the home estate, and frankly, it is blisteringly good. It delivers that driving, pure citrus core we all expect from top-flight Canberra Riesling, but this specific site throws in a brilliant hit of fresh green melon that you simply won't find in the rest of his lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking here is incredibly smart, too. Rather than just doing it by numbers, Nick split the hand-picked fruit from two estate parcels: 80% was whole-bunch pressed and cool-fermented in stainless steel for razor-sharp precision, while the remaining 20% was fermented as whole berries in ceramic vessels to build some serious textural intrigue. A quick rest on light lees ties it all together perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you love the energy of a great Canberra Riesling, this needs to be in your fridge door immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A little estery and subdued on the nose, the palate, too, at first. It does open to reveal lemon balm, lemon-lime juice and zest. The talc-like acidity is almost softish, so the palate isn’t at all tight, making this a juicy, delicious drink.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Jane Faulkner\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Nick O'Leary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43083655217195,"sku":"2024 Nick O'Leary Heywood Riesling","price":32.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/VW_Nick_O_Leary_Heywood_Riesling_1_700x_d0a450af-65e3-447a-8125-96e04e81b628.png?v=1719980757","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-nick-oleary-heywood-riesling","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
