$223.00

Dicey Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2022 is crafted by Dicey Wines in Bannockburn, Central Otago, a sub-region renowned for producing Pinot Noir of depth and clarity. This wine is expressive and finely tuned, opening with aromas of dark cherry, black raspberry and wild strawberry, layered with dried herbs, savoury spice and a hint of forest floor. The palate is medium bodied with poised, silky tannins and bright natural acidity driving length and freshness. Concentrated dark fruit is balanced by gentle oak, earthy nuance and a distinct mineral thread that reflects Bannockburn’s schist soils. The structure is refined rather than forceful, allowing purity of fruit and site expression to shine. The 2022 vintage has received 95 points from Bob Campbell MW and was awarded Gold at the New Zealand International Wine Show, confirming its status as a standout Central Otago Pinot Noir. Approachable now, it will cellar gracefully for six to eight years.

Lots of classic Central dried herb and savoury spice led aromas with sage and thyme framing flavours of dark plum and raspberry, dark cherry and smoky wood tones. Mineral, dry, textured and delicious with a generosity of fruit, tension from tannins and acidity and core fruit flavours of dark berries and spice.

About Dicey Wines

Wine is about place. Dicey is a place that is a rocky pocket of Central Otago: Bannockburn. It’s not easy to make wine here. Hoar frosts. Wind. Bitter cold and crackling heat. The land is unforgiving and the wines express that struggle.

The fruit comes from three vineyards started by three families transcending two generations. James and Odelle have The Inlet. Matt and Ali belong to Black Rabbit. Their pioneering parents, Robin and Margi, own their Swansong.

Our vineyards are named Swansong, Black Rabbit, and Inlet. Swansong is steep — the vines clawing their way along terraces of eroded gravel and clay. Black Rabbit sits on ancient bedrock, vines nestled into windblown soil. Inlet’s vines drape over a terrace of deep river gravel. We coax the best out of these reluctant soils by striving for balance.

Dicey Bannockburn wines pay homage. They tell the annual story of the region and share the colours of each season. The Single Vineyard wines have an even sharper focus.
