Estate grown from the spectacular hillside vineyard in the Ferguson Valley of the Geographe wine region, fruit is sourced predominately from the Blinman block which was planted in 1998. Soil is typically a deep layer of ironstone gravelly loam over red and yellow friable clay with slight westerly aspects at elevations of 220 to 250m above sea level.

MadFish was established by Howard Park as a standalone brand with a focus on expressive, affordable, drink-now wines, and is named after a bay in the Great Southern (near Denmark). “... one to enjoy now, at a barbecue but it’ll mellow in a few more years. Cassis and cherries, cedary, woodsy spice, a hint of fresh herbs and some sway with the tannins. It works across a medium-bodied palate and has plenty of refreshing acidity and a touch of detail. 90pts, Great Value.” Jane Faulkner, The Halliday Wine Companion.

In the winery: Matured for 10 months in about one third new French oak from forests in Allier, Nevers and the Centre of France.In the glass: Medium red, a slight brick hue.On the nose: Lifted red berry and light cedary oak.On the palate: Stacks of primary fruit and tannins are softening with age resulting in a soft, silken finish. Still showing plenty of fruit depth and has plenty of time ahead of it.

"The greatest discoveries are often made by getting off the beaten track and being happy to just 'get lost' for a while," say the good folk at Miles from Nowhere. "We wouldn't have it any other way." One sip of this lovely Margaret River Cabernet Merlot with its amazing depth of fruit flavour and long, smooth, silky finish will certainly transport you to somewhere fabulous. Enjoy!
