Bancroft Wines at the London Wine Fair 2015

The Bancroft Team was out in force at this year's London Wine Fair, taking a break from pounding the pavements and letting the crowd come to them. Enticed by new product launches, a raft of award announcements and the winning smiles of 12 of our esteemed producers, trade experts flocked to stand X60. Old favourites rubbed shoulders with the likes of Schild Estate's new PRÄMIE Special Release Shiraz 2013 and Ten Minutes by Tractor's new Coolart single vineyard Pinot Noir. Winemaker Jeremy Magyar was on hand to explain the details of Mornington Peninsula's unique microclimates while newcomer Ben manned the Schild counter.
