Ponting Milestone '257' Tasmania Pinot Noir 2023
Introducing the latest addition to the limited release Ponting Milestone Collection.
This wine marks Ricky Ponting's milestone innings of 257 vs. India at the Melbourne Cricket Grounds in the 2003 Boxing Day Test. Coming off a loss to India at the Adelaide Oval, Ricky plundered a career-best '257' to bring the 2003-04 Border-Gavaskar Trophy back on level terms at the MCG.
“India were the toughest of competitors. This made scoring my highest test score of 257 and back-to-back double centuries in consecutive tests, a truly cherished milestone of my career.” - Ricky Ponting
"The '257' is made in a style to reflect the best of Tasmania. Ricky and I selected a single site in Meadowbank to create a Milestone-worthy Pinot Noir." - Ben Riggs
Brooding dark cherries, juicy, rich raspberries and layers of savoury spice are elegantly balanced, bursting with ripeness and well-integrated delicate tannins.
A wine to enjoy now and will continue to evolve for many years to come.
