Reviews for previous vintages below…

Rated Excellent, 5 Stars & 93/100 NZ Wine Rater, August 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Very deep crimson hue. Lifted, primary, varietally expressive nose with attractive aromas of ripe damson plum, and blueberry with hints of bubblegum, cinnamon and dark chocolate. Soft, lush, generous, flavoursome, fruit-driven style with crunchy acidity and soft, bright sappy tannins. True to variety and good drinking."

93/100 Jane Skilton MW, Wine Magazine, October 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Following on from the highly successful 2020 vintage, at first this seems just a little more muscular and less aromatic. But with time, masses of fresh crunchy black berry fruit emerges with a lift of parma violet, and an attractive juicy crisp finish. Delightfully engaging."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, August 2021 (2020 Vintage)
"A fantastic bouquet of roses and red cherry, sweet plum and raspberry, a layer of minerality and whisper of dried herb. Crisp, fruity, floral, refreshing and dry with flavours that mirror the nose, an abundance of tannins with a fine chalky edge, contrasting acid line and a core of flavour that just won’t stop! A delicious example, well made and ready. Best drinking from today and through 2026. Be quick!"

4 ½ Stars Michael Cooper (2020 Vintage)
"From a cold growing season, the ruby hued (not entirely clear) 2020 vintage was matured for 11 months in old oak barrels, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Fragrant and savoury, it is highly characterful, with good body, fresh acidity and plummy, spicy, slightly nutty flavours, finely textured and rich."

93/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review (2020 Vintage)
"Light, fresh gamay with red cherry, plum, violet, savoury and fresh herb flavours. One of only seven New Zealand gamays I have tasted and certainly one of the best. A soft-textured wine with a lingering finish."

Rating Excellent, Mark Henderson, Otago Daily Times (2020 Vintage)
"Grows with aeration. Wildness, burnt bramble, berryfruits, full of intrigue. Juicy, crunchy palate showcasing raspberry, dark berries spice and bonfire embers. Medium-bodied yet deceptive power to this, building in depth and structure with the flavours lingering on the long, crisp finish. Unfiltered, so a little cloudy and I suspect best drunk in its youthful vibrancy."

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.
