Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"Separate from our core Dicey Bannockburn range and the Dicey single vineyard offerings, Dicey Brothers is a place to explore the outer universe. It’s a label within our label that exists solely for fun and experimentation. Fun — firstly by us in the vineyard and then in the winery and also by you, dear reader and avid wine fan, when you slosh it around in a glass and share it with your mates.
There is a strict policy of no wine-wank with Dicey Brothers. These are not wines intended to be dissected. They are intended to create interest, some banter rather than debate and enjoyment for all those involved in the making and the drinking of them.
Amber wines are white wines made using traditional or red winemaking techniques. The wine is fermented on its skins where it picks up colour and where the name of the wine originates.
The fruit was harvested in pristine condition from our SwanSong Vineyard. We destemmed the Riesling all to a 1.5T open top fermenter, where it was warmed to kick off the ferment naturally. It was fermented reasonably cool for 21 days on its skins. When it was dry it was pressed to barrel. The wine stayed in barrel for 14 months where it underwent a natural malolactic fermentation during summer. It was hand bottled unfined and unfltered."

Dicey wines are a true reflection of the rugged landscape of Bannockburn in Central Otago. The region’s extreme climate—with its hoar frosts, blistering heat, and bitter cold—shapes the character of the wines produced. Grapes are sourced from three distinct vineyards, each owned by pioneering families spanning two generations. Each vineyard has a unique essence, influenced by its harsh, unforgiving soil and climate. The Dicey team harvests these grapes by hand, crafting single-vineyard wines that capture the spirit of their origins.
Every bottle of Dicey wine tells the annual story of Bannockburn’s vineyards, with a focus on the nuanced variations of each vintage. Selected barrels are chosen to create a blend that serves as an ode to the year—a bottled time capsule of the region. This dedication to place, family, and the land itself is at the heart of Dicey’s philosophy, making their wines a testament to both struggle and reward in an extraordinary winemaking journey.
