Victory Point is rated a 5 Star producer by James Halliday Australian Wine Companion.
Winemaking

French oak barrels were used, 50% of which were new. The wine was aged in barrel for 12 months before extensive blending trials were undertaken to determine the composition for the 2012 vintage.The final blend is made up of 40% Cabernet Franc, 31% Malbec, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon 6% Petit Verdot. The wine was bottled in August, 2013 and sealed with screwcap closures.
