Ponting Milestone '127' Barossa Shiraz 2023

The first release from our Milestone Collection.

This wine marks Ricky Ponting's milestone innings of 127 vs. England at Headingley, Leeds UK in 1997. This was Ricky's first Ashes Test and his maiden test century. It was the beginning of a test career that over the ensuing 15 years, would add another 40 Test hundreds, though Ricky considered few were better than his 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
