Wines of Rioja: Remirez and Altanza

Bancroft's Rob Allen and Elena from Bodegas Altanza

We recently took part in September's Wines of Rioja trade tasting at the Royal Horticultural Halls. In attendance with team Bancroft was Elena Sanchez from Bodegas Altanza and Luis Alberto Martinez from Remirez de Ganuza, who enjoyed extra exposure thanks to being selected as one of the wines used in Sarah Jane Evans MW's seminar on Guiding consumers through the Rioja classifications.

On show were the following wines:

Bodegas Altanza:
Edulis Rioja Crianza 2011
Lealtanza Rioja Crianza 2010
Lealtanza Rioja Reserva Limited Edition 2008
Altanza Reserva Especial 2004
