About The Pack
After a great career as one of Australia's most decorated cricket players, Ricky Ponting has turned his hand to another passion, the love of wine.
Ricky has partnered with winemaker Ben Riggs to bring a us a class act range of wines that speak of wine styles and special moments in Ricky's life and career.
The two wines here on tasting for our DD LIVE chat with Ricky on the 21st October offer some excellent drinking at a very sharp price. We have a Pinot Noir from his home in Tasmania and an SA Shiraz that packs a punch at a great price.
2020 Ponting Mowbray Boy Pinot Noir
As a young lad growing up in Launceston, Ricky credits his dad and the men of the Mowbray Cricket Club with teaching so much about the sport, and life in general. This wine honours that part of his life.
Utilising the secret winemaker handshake, Ricky and Ben worked in partnership with Tasmanian winemaker Jeremy Dineen on this wine. They utilised his contacts and relationships to source this truly scarce commodity; Tamar Valley Pinot Noir, which is known to produce such elegant and well-structured wines.
This is very much a fruit driven wine, and distinctly regional, dark cherries, lots of spice, great acidity. Hello, did someone say BBQ Duck?

Paying homage to the pinnacle of Ricky’s career, the Ashes, this wine showcases winemaker Ben Riggs bread and butter, McLaren Vale Shiraz.
Ben has built his name on these wines, with great relationships with growers across the region - he has sourced some exceptional fruit for this wine. This is quite a powerful and full-bodied expression of the varietal. Distinctively McLaren Vale, with sweet berries and darker fruit on the nose. The wine is soft, with warm tannins on the palate layered with rich berry fruits, and lots of spice.
This wine speak so much of both the region, and the winemaker. The wine is everything it sets out to be; a well-made, quality, Vale Shiraz, at a cracker of a price.

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!
Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.
Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
