Description Miles from Nowhere is owned by Franklin and Heather Tate. Franklin’s father John was the “Tate” in WA’s pioneering Evans & Tate brand, and Franklin opened the winery when he returned to the Margaret River in ’07. The name is a tribute to the long journey Franklin’s ancestors made over 100 years ago from Eastern Europe to Australia, and is a very highly regarded Margaret River estate. With no fewer than SIX Golds & 92pts for this “generous & highly flavoursome” (Ray Jordan) premium Margaret River Chardonnay, this is a real treat. " Generous and highly flavoursome chardonnay from this warmer vintage. Rich lift of butterscotch and white peach dominated stone fruit. A little butterscotch and quince paste. Has a crunchy grapefruit and lemon zest combination working neatly with the crisp acidity" (Ray Jordan).
Renowned for its surf breaks, Margaret River is also famous for its wine production and tourism. Margaret River wines account for just 3% of Australia’s annual wine production, but commands over 20 percent of the Australian premium wine market.
Little wonder the wines are rather pricey in nature. The region is made up of boutique wineries. The weather is maritime, with warm summers, influenced by refreshing sea breezes and strong winds and rather akin to Bordeaux.
