Miles From Nowhere Chardonnay

The Miles from Nowhere name comes from the journey Franklin Tate’s ancestors made over 100 years ago from Eastern Europe to Australia: upon their arrival, they felt they had travelled “miles from nowhere”.
The philosophy of Miles from Nowhere is based on a passion for seeking out precious pockets of exceptional land and vineyards across the Margaret River region.

A mild growing season associated with moderate crop led to slow and even ripening during harvest 2022, preserving good acidity and balance while intensifying the varietal characters. For the 2022 vintage of this blend, fruits come from the heart of northern Margaret River: a Gin Gin selection from the original Miamup property and a blend of 4 traditional Burgundy clones field blended on harvest day to maximize the complexity of aromas.

Some drinkers may expect to find a full bodied, heavily oaked chardonnay, this Chardonnay takes a slightly different approach in showing a more delicate and youthful side, of the beloved variety.
