Georges Michel

Marlborough whites: Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, and Chardonnay from New Zealand's South Island.

Georges Michel operates in Marlborough, New Zealand's South Island, where cool-climate conditions shape wines of precision and minerality. The winery's portfolio centers on white varietals suited to the region's terroir. La Reserve Sauvignon Blanc captures the aromatic intensity and crisp acidity characteristic of Marlborough, while La Reserve Viognier—a richer, stone-fruit-driven expression—and Golden Mile Chardonnay round out the core range. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff. The Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc rank highest among the portfolio, reflecting the winery's focus on white wine production in a region defined by its ability to achieve ripe fruit with bright acidity.
