2015 Kamanima red wine cuvee, dry, 14% vol., Andre Macionga and Markus Schneider

At the beginning, aromas present themselves that leave a leathery impression. Characterized by fine red berries, this cuvee already has great character. Despite the youthful age of this wine, it appears rich, spicy and masculine. The longevity is noticeable: `Kamanima` will remain an impressive pleasure in the future too. A delicate tannin is present on the palate right from the start, and the bouquet is characterized by tones of beetroot, rosemary and tobacco. All wines in the Macionga range are only produced in small quantities. In 2011, Andre Macionga asked himself the question for the first time: `What would my own wine taste like?` The effects of this question were groundbreaking for him and shaped the rest of his life. From year to year, cuveeing developed into an ever-growing passion for him. In 2017, he cuveeed wines with four wineries for the first time. The cooperative work and the associated creative exchange with winemakers from different regions is very valuable to him; and always an act of inspiration. Thanks to this collaboration, he was able to realize his ideas. This resulted in the founding of Andre Macionga Cuvee GmbH. The cuvees that he has been able to create so far are unique wines. They are clearly structured and have substance. Let yourself be enchanted by the taste images on your palate and explore these wines with their strong character. You will discover numerous nuances and facets. Andre Macionga has been a sommelier at the Michelin-starred restaurant Tim Raue in Berlin since 2006.
