2024 Dicey Chenin Blanc

The Dicey brothers have a knack for making wines that speak clearly of Bannockburn – detailed, balanced and refreshingly unforced – and this Chenin carries that same DNA.

The 2024–25 season started early with warm, dry conditions and no frost pressure. Rain was scarce, wind kept the vines in check, and while crops were a touch higher than usual, the fruit came in clean and full of flavour.

Picked late, whole-bunch pressed and fermented warm on full solids with indigenous yeast, the ferment stopped naturally with about 28 g/L of residual sugar.

It’s off-dry but tight, showing citrus, pear and gentle honey notes with a clean, mineral finish. Straightforward, quietly distinctive, and a great example of how well Chenin fits into the Bannockburn landscape.
