Dicey Bannockburn Chardonnay 2022

A barrel-fermented Chardonnay from the Dicey family's Bannockburn vineyards in Central Otago.

Rich, textural Central Otago Chardonnay with a silken core and a mineral, citrus-fresh finish.

Tasting Notes

The wine opens with a captivating aroma of ripe stone fruit, zesty citrus, and buttery brioche. On the palate it is rich, full-bodied, and textural, with layers of flavour that reveal themselves slowly and elegantly. The ripe fruit is complemented by a subtle hint of vanilla from oak ageing, and the wine closes with a long, satisfying finish and well-balanced acidity that keeps the palate fresh.

Best enjoyed now or cellared over the next two to seven years.

Why you'll love it: it has the texture and presence of a serious Chardonnay while staying fresh and thoroughly food-friendly.
