Windowrie has continued its very successful 150th year celebrations with a tranche of awards from Australia\u2019s most respected wine magazine, Winestate.<\/p>\n

The winery has recently received the following awards, positioning it as one of NSW\u2019s best winemakers. The awards comprise:<\/p>\n

\u2018Best New Release\u2019 2011 Windowrie The Mill Cabernet Merlot<\/p>\n

This ranking is given to the best \u2018New Release\u2019 wines from Australian and New Zealand that were tasted by a range of winemakers and wine judges as part of the monthly Winestate Magazine tastings during 2011. There were approximately 5,000 wines tasted.<\/p>\n

\u2018Best of State (NSW) 2011 Windowrie The Mill Cabernet Merlot<\/p>\n

2010 Pig in the House Shiraz (5 Stars)<\/p>\n

The wines that are included in this band comprised only 5% of the total 10,000 wines tasted by Winestate during the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is capping off a fantastic year for Windowrie,\u201d said family member and owner Jason O\u2019Dea. \u201cSince Anthony D\u2019Onise came on board as our winemaker, and broadened our sourcing of grapes to include Orange and Hilltops, as well as our Cowra fruit, we have attracted some exciting awards and wine show results.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c2011 is also the 150th anniversary of The Mill, where we have our cellar door tasting room, so it is giving the locals and visitors to the region an extra reason to drop in.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the most pleasing thing about these results is that they are across the whole range, not just for a single wine.\u201d<\/p>\n

These results include:<\/p>\n
