The unique emblem of the wine region, Tokaj Aszú, offers a concert of aromas – a whirl of fresh and dried fruits with spices – finishing with wonderful length. The vibrant finale leaves a poignant emotion. Samuel Tinon creates Aszú wines that combine great balance between controlled oxidation and exalting aromatic expression. This process gives the wine its sumptuous complexity expressed by the high sugar and fruit acidity content.

For the Great Tokaj Sweet Wine, the botrytised grapes, called aszú berries, are picked one by one and kept in 25 kg baskets (in Hungarian: puttony, which gives its name to the unit of measurement Puttonyos). The berries are macerated in a dry base wine for more than a month before undergoing a minimum of three years of ageing in Hungarian oak barrels, and often much longer.

This process gives the wine its sumptuous complexity expressed by the high sugar content and the great acidity of the fruit.
