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.

 

Andrés philosophy: strong character wines

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.

 

Tasting a variety of things through questioning

Whoever drinks a cuvée from Andre Macionga Cuvée should have a taste experience. André Macionga: “Wine lovers should be able to discover my wines with vigilance and openness”. Macionga is of the opinion that there is the possibility to drink a wine thoughtlessly or to enjoy it questioningly. “I question it, because there’s much to taste in my wines”.

The wines of André Macionga are clearly structured and have substance. This is sometimes a reason why they are excellently suited as food companions. And when the wine is open and can breathe, it reveals a new facet to the connoisseur, every five minutes. That’s the thrill, a true joy. For wine shall bring joy. “With wine you can have new experiences. I find it fascinating how one and the same bottle of wine can change completely in an hour” explains Macionga.

Let yourself be enchanted by taste images on the palate. This is what all those who deal with the cuvées of André Macionga Cuvée should do. A unique experience. André Macionga: For me, wine is passion, emotion, conviviality, harmony and love. As versatile as life.
