Fleurieu grapes play a large part in Former Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting’s latest venture.

Ponting Wines is a collaboration between one of Australia’s most celebrated modern-day cricketers, Ricky Ponting and Ben Riggs, an award-winning Australian winemaker known for uncompromising, high quality wines. 

Masters of their craft, their partnership has been forged to celebrate their dedication and achievements.

Each wine reflects Ricky’s life and has been carefully crafted by Ben to ensure flavour, structure and complexity are of the highest quality.

The label offers five wines, two sourced from Tasmania and three from South Australia, with McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek featuring prominently.

Ponting 366 is the pride of the collection, a wine that celebrates Ricky Ponting’s extraordinary career. 

Ben has crafted a classically Australian blend of Shiraz and Cabernet from the McLaren Vale and the Coonawarra to create a wine that will stand the test of time. 

The Pinnacle McLaren Vale Shiraz honours the most famous of all cricket battles, the Ashes. Ricky’s career against England was uncompromising, with no quarter asked or given of his opponents, from 35 tests played, he captained 18, scored eight centuries and 2,476 test runs.

The Close of Play Langhorne Creek Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that acknowledges the tradition of raising a glass with teammates at the close of play.

Full details of the wines are available on the Ponting Wines website.
