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 (2023 Vintage)
"The fruit was harvested early and was received at the winery on the day of harvest, foot stomped then stored overnight. The following day whole bunch pressed and sent to tank with full solids. Indigenous yeast fermentation, allowed to cool naturally with ~21g/L residual sugar remaining. Racked then left on light lees for 6 months. Bottled unfined, filtered late October 2023
Nose — Pink grapefruit. Fennel. Jasmine.
Palate — Fresh. Focused. Tangy"
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, January 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"A delicious wine touches the palate in a just dry expression, flavours of white apricot and rose apple flavours, citrus and lime-flower. A backbone of acidity, satin mouthfeel and lengthy finish. A must have addition to your cellar with best drinking from mid to late 2024 through 2030."

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.
