Ponting Milestone '257' Tasmania Pinot Noir
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.
