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.

The 2024 vintage in Margaret River is marked by being the earliest and fastest-paced harvest on record, driven by an exceptionally warm and dry growing season. Despite the heat, the region’s white varieties, particularly Chardonnay, are being hailed for their unexpected freshness and concentrated flavors.

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.
