Dicey is the Central Otago brand of the Dicey brothers. Father Robin and sons James and Matt have had an integral involvement in many aspects of Central Otago wine since the early 1990's. The family were founding partners in Mt Difficulty with Matt being the winemaker since its inception in 1996 until now and James viticulturalist for many well known Central Otago wineries. They know their stuff!
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Nose — Citrus. Yellow peach. Pineapple.
Palate — Succulent. Textural. Lively.
We harvested out Inlet Vineyard in two tranches: firstly clone 548, then second B95 and 809 clones. Black Rabbit Mendoza came in at the same time as the first of the Inlet clones, all were was foot trodden left overnight then whole bunch pressed straight to barrel. Fermented with indigenous yeast, unstirred weekly until after malolactic fermentation in spring, at which point they were stirred weekly. 75% malolactic fermentation. 20% new oak puncheons. Bottled unfined, filtered in late March 2023."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, January 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"A wine with a silken texture and flavours of pear and apple, baking spice and white peach, some grapefruit peel and fine sandy soil mineral flavours. Medium+ to near full-bodied with fine wood and fruit tannins, medium+ (ish) acid line and a Brazil-nut butter highlight. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2027. The acid line and citrus highlights along with a developing mineral and piquant frame are key highlights remaining persistent as the wine opens out in glass."

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.
