Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of wines are Dicey known for?
Dicey is best known for producing site-driven, small-batch wines with a particular focus on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which thrive in the cool-climate conditions of Central Otago. The winery's Pinot Noir is highly regarded for its aromatic complexity, fine tannin structure, and ability to reflect subtle differences in vineyard site and vintage. It typically displays notes of red cherry, wild herbs, spice, and mineral tension. Dicey's Chardonnay is equally compelling, often showing a taut, citrus-driven profile with layers of flint, creaminess, and natural acidity. The label also experiments with varietals such as Chenin Blanc and Riesling, made in textured, low-intervention styles. Across the range, the wines are defined by their vibrancy, balance, and dedication to expressing place over manipulation. Dicey has carved out a reputation as one of Central Otago’s most thoughtful and terroir-focused producers.

Where are Dicey wines made?
Dicey wines are made in Central Otago, New Zealand’s southernmost and one of its most prestigious wine regions. More specifically, the winery is located in the subregion of Bannockburn, a high-altitude area known for its arid climate, dramatic temperature shifts, and schist-rich soils—ideal for crafting expressive, structured wines. The Dicey family has deep roots in this region, with a history of vineyard management and winemaking that spans decades. Grapes are grown in organically farmed vineyards that prioritise sustainability, biodiversity, and minimal chemical intervention. The winemaking philosophy is hands-off, involving wild yeast fermentation, low sulphur usage, and no fining or filtration when possible. Each wine is a direct reflection of its site and season, making Dicey one of the leading names in Bannockburn’s growing artisan wine scene. Their work champions both innovation and respect for Central Otago’s unique terroir.

What are the best Dicey wines?
Among the most acclaimed Dicey wines is their Bannockburn Pinot Noir, which consistently garners praise for its elegance, detail, and site expression. This wine showcases lifted aromatics of red berries, clove, and wild thyme, underpinned by silky tannins and savoury complexity. Another standout is the Dicey Chardonnay, known for its finely textured palate, citrus-driven profile, and subtle oak influence. The wine reflects a precision-based approach to white winemaking, balancing freshness with lees-derived weight. Also gaining traction is the Dicey Chenin Blanc, which brings an unusual varietal to Central Otago and impresses with its waxy, mineral-laced character and vibrant acidity. Limited-edition bottlings and single-block releases also attract attention from wine lovers seeking something truly unique. These wines are celebrated not only for their quality but also for the thoughtful, site-sensitive methods used in their production, making them standout choices among New Zealand’s boutique offerings.

Are Dicey wines affordable?
Dicey wines are positioned in the premium artisan category, but they are considered affordable when evaluated against the level of craftsmanship, small production, and vineyard specificity they offer. While not entry-level in pricing, they provide excellent value for those seeking high-quality, low-intervention wines that reflect place and time. The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are priced accessibly for boutique Central Otago wines, especially given their complexity and ageing potential. Even the more experimental or limited bottlings remain within reach for consumers who value authenticity and nuance. What makes Dicey particularly appealing is its transparency and commitment to quality without excessive mark-up. For wine enthusiasts looking to explore thoughtful, expressive wines from one of New Zealand’s top subregions, Dicey presents an attractive mix of affordability, innovation, and regional identity.
