2018 Komplex 19 red wine 14% vol., Andre Macionga and Klostermuhle

Pinot Noir from 19 different plots and 19 different barriques. Immediately after opening the bottle, the wine appears delicate, gentle and quiet. A spicy, smoky smell with a subtle hint of cloves hits the nose. On the palate you can taste ripe sour cherry, juicy plum and sweet wild raspberry. The cuvee is reminiscent of an elegant Amarone. A gripping symphony of red fruits. The addition of violets and a little blackberry creates a fusion that gives off a hint of sulphur. A real firework of aromas. 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 combined 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 the palate and explore these wines with 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.
