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)
"The fruit was harvested mid-season. Destemmed and pressed to tank where it cold settled for 10 days. Racked off clean juice with some light lees taken for texture. Indigenous yeast fermentation, allowed to cool naturally with ~25g/L residual sugar remaining. Left on gross lees for 6 months. Bottled unfined, filtered November 2022.

Nose — Lemon Curd. Lime Leaves. Floral.
Palate — Rich. Opulent. Driven."

Reviews for the 2021 vintage below…

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, August 2021 (2021 Vintage)
"Precise and exacting aromas of sweet lemon and apple, lime- flower, pear, white peach and mineral. Youthful, fresh and harmoniously attractive. Off-dry style with residual sweetness to a medium level. Immediately contrasted by acidity highlighting flavours of green apple and lemon, minerality and white flowers. Delicious, fresh and youthful with a long finish. Best drinking from 2022 through 2029+."

4 ½ Stars Michael Cooper (2021 Vintage)
"The light lemon/green, finely poised 2021 vintage is very invitingly scented. Light-bodied and tangy, it is gently sweet (31 grams/litre of residual sugar), with very good intensity of lemony, appley flavours. Strongly varietal, it's a delicious aperitif; drink now or cellar."

92/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, December 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"A juicy, bright, sweetish style, orange, mandarin, tangerine in its essence. Fresh and bright, cool acidity under the slick of generous fruit character, albeit tight, lively, riesling definitively. It’s very good to drink, best with a robust chill for sure. Worthy."

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.
