2024 Windowrie ‘Pig in the House’ Cabernet Sauvignon

In stock.

Before Windowrie became what it is today, their homestead had its own distinct charm. The previous owner, a devoted pig farmer, shared a bond with his animals unlike any other – he welcomed them into his home, quite literally. The pigs roamed freely, becoming as much a part of the house as the walls and the roof themselves.

When the O’Dea family took over and made the homestead their own and welcomed their first child, they began to see their home through a new lens. The thought of anything potentially affecting the purity of their home environment became a pressing concern, which led to a pivotal decision to transition their vineyard practices to organic methods, ensuring that the land, the vines, and the home itself remained as natural and untouched as possible.

Pig in the House honours the quirky history of the O’Dea homestead and the commitment they’ve made to organic farming. It’s a tribute to the past and a promise to the future – just as the pigs found their place inside the house, the O’Dea family has found theirs in nurturing the land with care and respect.

Color: Dark red with purple hues and slight brick-red tones.

Nose: Aromas of red and dark cassis, dark chocolate, clove spice, crushed herbs, caramel and blackberry jam.

Palate: Flavours follow through from the nose, with oak providing length and structure. Medium-bodied with a balanced finish.

Pairings: Perfect with BBQ, pork and fennel sausages, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, osso buco, or anything layered with cheese or bechamel sauce.
