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 today a very highly regarded Margaret River estate. This is a FIVE-time Gold-winning (including a prestigious Top Gold) Margaret River classic red blend. Ripe Mulberry and blackberry complemented with notes of cedar and mocha. Finishing with a silky length of integrated tannins and subtle oak. Enjoy with a butterflied Lamb leg with an herb and pomegranate cous-cous salad.
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.
