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.

For the 2021 vintage of this blend, the 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. Harvest was completed during the cool hours of the night, to allow a few hours of skin contact for texture and fruit intensity. The wine was fermented in French oak- about 20% new- then matured the on its yeast lees for 6 months with limited stirring (battonage) to further enhance its creamy texture. No malolactic fermentation was used in 2021 to showcase the purity of the ripe fruit characters and retain the wine’s long fine acidity.
