North Melbourne is pleased to welcome its new Official Wine Partner, Ponting Wines.

Australian cricket legend and lifelong North Melbourne fan Ricky Ponting and the team at Ponting Wines join the club ahead of the upcoming AFL and AFLW seasons.

Skillfully crafted by award-winning Australian winemaker Ben Riggs, Ponting Wines will be showcased at some of the club’s most iconic events, including the North Melbourne Drinkwise Grand Final Breakfast and the Syd Barker Medal and AFLW Club Champion award nights.

Ponting Wines co-founder Ricky Ponting said he was excited to combine his passion for the Kangaroos with his passion for wine.

"North Melbourne has been a huge part of my life. The club means so much to me and also to my family. Growing up I never thought that one day I would be sponsoring the Roos but here we are," Ponting said.

"Our wines are crafted by Ben Riggs, a masterful winemaker, one of the best in the country. Together we source premium fruit from my home state of Tasmania and Ben’s home state of South Australia. Our dedication to quality has delivered significant success for our wines both here and abroad, winning over 30 gold medals since our business commenced in 2020.

"Events like the North Melbourne Grand Final Breakfast are so iconic to the Australian sporting landscape, and we’re honoured to serve our wines at the breakfast and other events throughout the year."

North Melbourne CEO Jennifer Watt said the club looked forward to working with Ponting Wines across its events. 

"Ricky Ponting is one of our most iconic supporters and passionate about the club. It’s great to have him involved at North Melbourne now as an official club partner and to welcome a quality brand like Ponting Wines to the club," Watt said.

"Ponting Wines will no doubt elevate our events with its great range of wines, and we’re looking forward to working with the team at Ponting Wines to bring this partnership to life."
