Risky Grapes
Risky Grapes operates in Valencia, Spain's inland region known for distinctive Mediterranean varieties and experimental winemaking. The winery focuses on two flagship wines that demonstrate the region's potential. La Traca Rosé, made from Bobal, captures the dark-skinned grape's mineral character in a dry, structured rosé. La Traca Blanco blends Merseguera, Malvasia, and Viognier—a combination that marries local tradition with international aromatics, yielding a white of complexity and freshness. Both wines have been evaluated by Wine Advocate, reflecting the winery's engagement with serious wine criticism. Valencia's continental climate and ancient vineyard traditions inform the house style: wines built on acidity and terroir rather than extraction.
