GSM blends, is becoming a major solo player with some producers actively pursuing exciting new projects. In 2016, Bourke & Travers planted mourvèdre on flats lying adjacent to Armagh Creek, and in 2021, put down close-planted bush vine grenache on a steep hill, at times through broken rock. And very soon Crabtree is set to release a special Sevenhill Grenache and a single block Grenache from vines planted in 1932. Clare Grenache is definitely having a moment outside its role in tasty GSMs. Producers are also moving full throttle into alternative or emerging grape varieties.
