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 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.

For several generations, the García family has been fully dedicated to viticulture. In 2000, leveraging decades of experience and winemaking know-how, they founded Bodegas Monteabellón, a family winery located in the small town of Nava de Roa. Nava de Roa still preserves a multitude of wine presses and wineries where its people once produced and stored wine. As in the rest of the Ribera del Duero region, its history and traditions are closely linked to wine.
A dry, cold winter and a dry, dry spring with a water deficit were followed by a very dry, hot summer with temperatures exceeding 42°C for more than 10 consecutive days. All of this has resulted in a high alcohol content and high tannin concentration for the vintage 2022. The result is a characteristically rich layer of color in the wines, with fewer fresh fruit notes than in previous vintages, but more ripe fruit notes this time. These characteristics are appreciated both on the palate and nose. A very good harvest is expected given the high concentration of the wines. This also includes an excellent skin-to-pulp ratio that is more balanced than in previous years.

Combined with low spring and summer rainfall and high water stress throughout the growing season, this vintage produced a highly concentrated berry, high alcohol content, and short production.

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.

In recent years “Stilio” has been added to Mottura’s range of wines. It is made from grapes selected from low-yield vineyards in the area of Manduria. One part of the grapes used to make this wine is slightly raisined on the vine, which concentrates the aromas before harvesting, thanks to a slight drying and resulting 20-30% loss of water. The label recalls the ancient cultural tradition of the “taranta” in Salento, rediscovered in recent years: a stylised jewel-like spider on a black background. The symbolism of the spider, the “taranta”, is important. Its bite triggers the need for dancing, music and colours, with a cathartic effect. All liberating emotions that even the flavour of this wine could provoke.
