Spring clean your wine list - Bancroft at SITT

Team Bancroft were out in force again this week, both in Manchester and in London for the Spring edition of SITT. With Luis from our Rioja Alavesa producer Remirez de Ganuza in tow, we showed off two of his wines, the Erre Punto Blanco, and the Remirez de Ganuza Reserva 2008 along with a select few of our other wines. Those who came were able to taste the following, and there were some distinct favourites.
