Gathering Sauvignon Semillon The Lane 2007

"If you find sauvignon a bit sharp, try it blended with semillon for a change. The most impressive one I've tasted recently, thanks to a steer from Matthew Jukes's 100 Best Australian Wines, is Gathering Sauvignon Semillon The Lane 2009, a beautifully crafted blend from an award-winning producer in the Adelaide Hills. Jukes says it leaves you feeling "astonishingly violated". I didn't find it that disturbing, but it is extremely seductive, particularly, I'd imagine, with a few seared scallops. You may want to bear that in mind."

Fiona Beckett, The Guardian (September 2011)

"Marty, and his irrepressible father John, make a fantastic, oyster and seafood-loving Sauvignon (The Gathering, with a splash of Semillon) very much in the style of an ebullient white Bordeaux. Sauvignon is the Wine Australia designated regional touchstone variety for Adelaide Hills."
