"The name Risky Business is decidedly tongue-in-cheek, for the partnership headed by Rob Quenby has neatly sidestepped any semblance of risk."
James Halliday, The Wine Companion
Risky business brings together the vision and decades of experience of grape grower/viticulturist Rob Quenby and vintner John Waldron. We have been sourcing fruit from Western Australia (primarily Margaret River) and Victoria’s King Valley, producing small batches of fine and distinctive wines from each area. Rob Quenby, operator of Quenby Viticultural Services (QVS) gives us opportunity to pre-select the best parcels from these great vineyards to use in the Risky Business range. Our focus is controlling quality thru vineyard selection (often single vineyard) and sustainable vineyard management. We currently produce wines with volumes as tiny as 150 cases, with some varieties up to a modest production of 1,500 cases. Sales in Australia, China and Taiwan.Partner Rob Quenby - Viticulturist • Partner John Waldron - Vintner
