The Dicey Chenin Blanc 2024 presents a captivating balance of freshness and complexity. In the glass, it reveals a pale straw color with hints of golden reflections. On the nose, vibrant aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and quince intermingle with delicate floral notes, underscored by a subtle hint of honey and a whisper of minerality.

The palate is bright and refreshing, marked by crisp acidity that lifts flavors of green apple, citrus zest, and a touch of melon. Mid-palate, the wine showcases a slight creaminess, likely from lees aging, which adds depth and texture. The finish is long, clean, and elegantly mineral-driven, leaving a lingering note of fresh herbs and wet stone.

This Chenin Blanc would pair beautifully with seafood dishes, creamy cheeses, or light summer salads, enhancing both its flavors and those of the accompanying meal.

Description

Dicey Wines, Bannockburn, Central Otago

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.
