"The lightly hued 2022 Contrarian clocks in as 47% Grenache Blanc, 35% Viognier, and 18% Picpoul Blanc. It has crisp, classy aromatics of tart pineapple, lemon blossom, and honeyed white flowers to go with a medium-bodied, vibrant, incredibly refreshing style on the palate. This is one impressive and undeniably delicious white to enjoy over the coming 2-3 years."
