Description

An excellent example of what Central Otago can do with Syrah. A bouquet and palate of ripe blackcurrant and dark plum fruits, a layer of violets and peppercorn, a stony clay quartz-like mineral quality, there’s plenty of concentration, but not too much, and a judicious measure of oak. There’s natural firmness and grip with the tannins and acidity, it a young wine after all, yet the length and persistent aftertaste offers a wine that can stand the test of cellar time whilst remaining drinkable on the day of purchase. Best drinking from 2027 through 2033.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

James is the grower, Matt, the caretaker. Two brothers. Two neighbours. Fierce about wine, family and Bannockburn — the land where they’ve put down roots. Wine runs deep for the Diceys. In the dirt and in the veins.

James and Matt live and work side by side. The middle where they meet can be a place of inspiration and friction.

‘Unpredictable and potentially dangerous’ is the dictionary definition for the word dicey.
