35 Years of Organic Winemaking Excellence

Founded by family patriarch David O’Dea, Windowrie planted its first vines in the 1980s, during the rise of Australia’s “New World” winemaking movement. Recognised as one of the top 50 leaders in Australian wine by Australian Wine Business Monthly, David’s vision has shaped Windowrie into a celebrated boutique winery, synonymous with sustainability, innovation, and the utmost quality. Today, the O’Dea family proudly owns and manages over 150 hectares of certified organic vineyards in New South Wales, Australia’s oldest wine-growing state.

At Windowrie, our passion for the environment is at the heart of everything we do. For 35 years, we’ve been committed to nurturing our land and vines with organic and regenerative farming practices that reflect the purity of the soil. Our sustainable methods focus on soil health, water conservation, and biodiversity, ensuring the land thrives for future generations.

We believe great wine comes from a deep connection to the land and the joy of sharing it with others. Our wines are crafted with care and authenticity, offering purity of flavour, and reflecting our commitment to organic, sustainable practices. Whether enjoyed in the everyday moments or for special occasions, Windowrie wines deliver a perfect balance of quality, taste, and value—designed to be shared with family, friends, and those who appreciate the beauty of honest winemaking.

OUR WINES

Sakura’, the festival of cherry blossoms, is held here in Cowra every year - celebrating the profound ties between our community and Japan. The Sakura label pays homage to this relationship and the iconic Japanese cherry blossom trees, which symbolise the delicate dance between life and death.

The Mill stands as a three-storey building featuring blue stone, granite, and reclaimed timber, serving as an award-winning attraction in the region. The Mill wine range is crafted to honour this rich history, reflecting the same dedication and care that went into restoring this iconic landmark.

Pig In The House honours the quirky history of our homestead and the commitment we’ve made to organic farming. It’s a tribute to the past, and a promise for the future - just as the pigs found their place inside the house, we’ve found ours in nurturing the land with care and respect.

JASON O'DEA

Jason O'Dea is the visionary owner behind Windowrie, with a deep-rooted commitment to organic viticulture. After completing his Viticulture degree at Charles Sturt University in 1994, Jason embarked on an 18-month journey across North and South America and Europe, studying diverse vineyard practices. This global experience shaped his approach to vineyard management at Windowrie.

Over 20 years ago, driven by the impending birth of his first child, Jason converted 10 hectares of vineyard around his home to organic production, pursuing certification through Australian Certified Organic. Today, he continues to integrate these principles, ensuring the production of exceptional quality wines.
