Following on from our original vision, risky business utilises the decades of experience from grape grower and viticulturist Rob Quenby and vintner John Waldron. Since 2013, we have been sourcing fruit from Victoria’s King Valley, producing small batches of fine and distinctive wine. Grape sourcing and winemaking has been carefully done by Andrew Vesey to produce distinctive and flavoursome Prosecco, Pinot Gris, Grigio and Sangiovese wine varietals., now there are over 70 families in the King Valley growing grapes
The King Valley in Victoria’s High Country is renowned for its strong Italian agricultural heritage, an influence that has shaped and defined the region’s vineyards and wineries, making it the Australian home for Italian style wines.
Prosecco, Pinot Grigio and Sangiovese are just three of the many Italian varieties that are produced in the King Valley. We recognised the regions cool-climate potential. The Valley’s continental climate provides warm days and cool nights, influenced by the Katabatic Breeze that sweeps northward down the valley from the high country.
The wine has been carefully made in the classic Pinot Gris style – giving it a slight richness .Clear and bright with slight straw tinge, pear aromas and gentle acidity balancing the palate
Colour: In the glass, the wine appears light, with a pale light yellow straw
colour. Aroma: The nose displays apple blossom, green apple and nectarine along with strong aromas of white peach.
Palate:A slight textural and richness through to the palate leaving pronounced acidity, a character typical of cool climate vineyards.
