Drinks firm has opened second store in Yorkshire

Drinks producer Raisthorpe Manor Fine Foods has opened its second store in the region.

The new shop at the White Rose Centre in Leeds will stock the full range of Raisthorpe’s gins and vodkas.

The shop opening follows a successful first year for Raisthorpe at the York Designer Outlet.

Raisthorpe’s sales and operations director, Oliver Medforth has been instrumental in driving the move into retail.

He said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing our award-winning gins and vodkas to shoppers at the White Rose Centre.

“This is an exciting time for us with new products to show off and a raft of shiny new awards.

“Chatting with customers is great for sparking ideas, we love sharing our drinks and the new shop will help increase awareness of our products.

“We’ll still be selling online and at shows throughout the country though if anyone can’t make it to see us here!”

Raisthorpe has been producing award-winning gin, vodka and whisky from its base at Wharram, near Malton in the Yorkshire Wolds since 2008.

Raisthorpe products are made using only the finest – locally sourced where possible – ingredients and have won 12 Great Taste Awards.

Raisthorpe Manor Fine Foods’ other products include ports, chocolates, hampers and gifts.
