The Calabria Family Wine Group has entered into a distribution partnership with Australia’s Ponting Wines, effective from 1 October.
Ponting Wines was established in 2020 and is a collaboration between one of Australia’s most celebrated cricketers, Ricky Ponting, and Australian winemaker, Ben Riggs, known for uncompromising, high-quality wines.
Each wine in the Ponting portfolio aims to reflect Ponting’s life, carefully crafted by Riggs to ensure flavour, structure and complexity are of the highest quality.
“My family are excited to partner with another family-owned wine business in the Calabria Family Wine Group,” said Ponting.
“We see obvious synergies and clear opportunities for Ponting Wines, as we look to continue our growth. We look forward to working closely with the Calabria family.”
The Ponting wine brand will join the Calabria Family Wine Group distribution portfolio, currently managed by Saint Wines – and the Calabria Family Wine Group will become the official distributor within Australia from 1 October.
Calabria Family Wine Group sales and marketing director, Andrew Calabria, said the company was delighted to welcome Ponting Wines to its distribution portfolio.
“Ricky’s shared family values of integrity and quality are a natural synergy with our family business,” said Calabria.
