This new exclusive red from Ponting Wines displays the passion for quality of Aussie legend Ricky Ponting, the skill of winemaker Ben Riggs, and the quality and value of Langhorne Creek. Howzat for a fine all-round package! One of the world’s best ever batsmen and captains, a respected coach, commentator, – and recipient of the Order of Australia, Ricky has always pursued excellence in both sport and philanthropic endeavours. There’s no gimmick to Ponting Wines. Ricky and Rianna were united in their love of wine, and “... are into every detail, working closely with Ben on the wine styles..” With over 100 trophies including McLaren Vale’s “Bushing King” and the Great Australian Shiraz Challenge (both won twice), Ben is well aware of this legacy of excellence: “I’ll never make anything less than a high-quality wine with the Ponting name on it....” Del Monte – named after the picturesque accommodation Ricky shared with the likes of Shane Warne and Adam Gilchrist while at the Australian Cricket Academy in Adelaide – displays this commitment to quality perfectly. Del Monte Shiraz Grenache 2021 is a stunner. From first sniff to its long satisfying finish, it’s hugely appealing, with fresh plummy Shiraz and raspberry-edged Grenache shot through with attractive spice and approachable tannins.

Bleasdale is “one of the most historic wineries in Australia ... in 2015 celebrating 165 years of continuous winemaking by the direct descendants of the founding Potts family.” (Halliday). Among many major awards, they’ve won the Jimmy Watson Trophy and winemaker Paul Hotker, a “master blender”, was named Halliday’s Winemaker of the Year 2018. "Unfussed cabernet at its fragrant cassis-lifted best. Barely any oak gets in the way of its pure fruit expression, with classical regional chocolate notes more important in the overall sense of the palate. But every new sip starts with that cabernet aroma and finishes with its spicy tannins, and that's always a joy... 92pts... Great Value" (Tony Love, Halliday Wine Companion).

It's also stupidly good value... Great Value... 92pts" (Tony Love, Halliday Wine Companion).

This De Bortoli Cabernet Merlot blend combines rich, dark berry from the Cabernet's flavour with soft, plumy Merlot. An ideal accompaniment to pasta, veal or pork.

Always regarded as one of Margaret River's favourite wineries due to the inherant quality. Forester Estate seems to marry beautifully with their value-for-money philosophy.

The other great bonus is the ability of this great Cab blend to morph into a true cellar star.
