We're thrilled to announce an exciting partnership between Ponting Wines and the North Melbourne Football Club. As two iconic Australian brands with a shared passion for excellence and community engagement, this collaboration marks a significant milestone for both organisations.
Ricky Ponting, our founder and Australian cricket legend, has always had a deep connection to Australian Rules Football. Growing up in Tasmania, Ricky was a talented junior footballer before focusing on his cricket career. His love for the sport has never wavered, and this partnership with North Melbourne is a natural fit for Ponting Wines.
"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.
The North Melbourne Football Club, affectionately known as "The Kangaroos," has a rich history dating back to 1869. With four VFL/AFL premierships to their name, the club has consistently demonstrated resilience, determination, and a commitment to success – values that align perfectly with Ponting Wines' ethos.
As part of this partnership, Ponting Wines will become the official wine supplier for all North Melbourne Football Club functions and events. Fans can look forward to enjoying our premium wines while cheering on their favorite team at Arden Street Oval and other club gatherings.
Ricky Ponting expressed his excitement about the partnership, saying,
"I've always been a huge fan of Aussie Rules, and partnering with a club as respected as North Melbourne is a dream come true. We're looking forward to sharing our wines with the Kangaroos family and being part of the club's journey in the years to come."
North Melbourne CEO Jennifer Watt said the club looked forward to working with Ponting Wines across its events.
This partnership goes beyond just wine and football. Both Ponting Wines and North Melbourne are committed to giving back to the community. We'll be working together on various initiatives to support local charities and grassroots sports programs in the coming months.
As we embark on this new chapter, we invite all North Melbourne supporters and wine enthusiasts to raise a glass of Ponting Wines and toast to a successful partnership. Whether you're at the game or watching from home, our wines are the perfect companion for celebrating the Kangaroos' victories.
Stay tuned for more exciting announcements and exclusive offers as we kick off this fantastic collaboration between Ponting Wines and the North Melbourne Football Club.
