On first approach, Bannockburn seems brown but it’s cut by a myriad of colours. James’ partner Odelle, an artist, took her paint brush and went wandering to capture the palette — to share what can be seen when you really know the land. These colours form part of the language of Dicey.
The brothers want to tell their story in all its complexity. A story that captures the essence of collaboration and conflict, struggle and reward, work and play, family and rocky ground.
There is a diametrical synergy between Odelle’s soft, coloured brush strokes and the pleasing strike the landscape provides with its severity. There’s a playfulness about the name Dicey too. The very idea of making wine in a place like that.
