Log in / Sign up Ponting Milestone 127 Shiraz 2020
Unveiling the inaugural offering from our Milestone Collection, this wine commemorates Ricky Ponting's historic innings of 127 against England at Headingley, Leeds, UK, in 1997 – a monumental achievement that marked his debut in Ashes Test cricket and his maiden test century. This remarkable innings not only initiated a test career spanning 15 years, during which he amassed an additional 40 Test hundreds, but Ricky himself held few in higher regard than his unforgettable first-up 127.
"That day I probably played as well as I have in any test innings, and that made it even more pleasing. That'd be as close as any to my best." - Ricky Ponting
"This wine reflects the best of the Barossa. Hand selected parcels of fruit including a batch from a vineyard planted over a century ago were blended to create this milestone Shiraz." - Ben Riggs
Shiraz pairs exceptionally well with a peppercorn-crusted steak, enhancing the wine's robust character and complementing the flavors of the dish.
Full flavoured and elegant, bursting with nuances of dark red fruits and spice. Mouthcoating tannins are apparent but well integrated, a wine that will reward a longer cellaring of up to ten years.
