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.
This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon is created by selecting only the best individual panels and rows (the so called “Best Blocks“) from across 3 different sub-regions of Margaret River.

As Margaret River continues to grow and develop, the love for Cabernet never changes, it is the soul of the community, and responsible to have put Margaret River on the map.
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 our vineyard in the Wilyabrup sub-region in Margaret River. Very low crops in 2021 have produced a wine, with rich citrus and stone fruit aromas and flavours.

For this blend of Shiraz, two parcels of Wilyabrup fruit with an average vine age of 20 years were selected : one from sand over clay soils located close to the coast, and one on free draining gravelly ironstone. Both parcels are spur pruned and low yielding with excellent bunch architecture.
A good Shiraz for those who enjoy a wine with a dense mouthfeel.

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.

A wine Margaret River produces better than most: the classical styled Sauvignon Blanc Semillon.
2022 offered good conditions for this blend of Sauvignon Blanc, which cames into the winery first at the peak of its freshness, and Semillon, which was allowed to ripen longer and develop highly textural characters typical of the variety.
With its bright acidity balanced with tropical fruit flavours, every sip truly takes you Miles From Nowhere.

Mottura wines are modern, but have a long history to tell. Since 1927, Mottura has been investing into the wine-making traditions of Salento, into the quality of its product and into modern and sustainable growth: made from native grapes such as Primitivo and Negroamaro, their aromas and bouquets reflect the spirit of this land, its authenticity and its energy.
Cultivated using the ancient bush-trained system which is naturally low-yield, it nonetheless has great concentration and organoleptic complexity. A Negroamaro with a strong personality yet a delicate palate.
The name and image on the label in fact recalls a rose window, the decorative roundel present on the facades of Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque style churches. The symbolic meaning of the rose window is closely related to the circle which, like an “infinite line” with no beginning and no end, is the symbol of God, and of eternity.
