The Philosophy

“Wine tells stories” is André Macionga’s philosophy. Wine can be incredibly versatile and multi-layered, different in texture, taste and smell. Wine creates experiences – and experiences shape life.

From passion to profession

In 2011, André Macionga decided to steer his passio in a professional direction. His goal: to create more “wine stories” with new taste development. In the wineries Horst Sauer, Markus Schneider, Klostermühle Odernheim and Neverland, André found places that made it possible to create new, unique cuvées. Thanks to them he was able to realize his ideas.

André Macionga sees his wines in colour nuances. Before André creates the cuvée, he tastes every wine. This is how color images are created in his inner eye. From these colour pictures he decides in which overall direction the cuvée should develop. The result is an extraordinary cuvée with a unique colour. His wines shine in their splendour and let the wine lover guess where the journey should go.
