Miles From Nowhere Best Blocks Chardonnay

Miles From Nowhere is all about a passion for winemaking.
This passion drove oenologist Rory Clifton-Parks and a well-known industry veteran Franklin Tate to gathered precious little pockets of exceptional land and vineyards, scattered across the Margaret River region of Western Australia.

This is solid, well-made Chardonnay, something really special, unique and distinct, that from the ground up truly expresses what is unique about the terroir of Margaret River. The majority of this wine, came from vineyards in the Wilyabrup sub-region in Margaret River. The 2023 vintage in Margaret River is frequently described by winemakers and critics as a “Goldilocks Vintage”—a nearly perfect season that favored Chardonnay with exceptional balance, elegance, and natural acidity.

Description

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 13.5%

APPEARANCE
Pale green with a straw tinged hue.

NOSE
The nose is complex from the first whiff, first displaying its great minerality with notes of wet silex and sharpening stone.

PALATE
Although the attack is crisp with focused sweet lemon, melon and white flower notes, the mid-palate quickly shows lots of texture and weight with just a hint of freshly baked butter pastry and a very elegant light creaminess that carries to the finish.

AGEING
Entirely fermented and aged in French oak barrels, 25 to 30% new complemented by 1,2 and 3 year old barriques.

PAIRING
Capon with morel mushrooms; pan-fried fishes with fresh lemon and parsley; or hard, well-aged cheeses such as Comte or Parmigiano Reggiano.
