2016 Tinon Aszu 5 Puttyonos

Samuel Tinon's Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos is a traditional sweet wine from the Tokaj region in Hungary, produced using 90% Furmint and 10% Hárslevelű. The wine is made from botrytized grapes that are dried for overripening, and its production involves a careful extraction of the Esszencia, with the "5 Puttonyos" designation referring to the proportion of Aszú grapes added to achieve its level of sweetness. The wine undergoes aging in Hungarian oak barrels for 2 to 6 years and is further matured in an oxidative style under a flor of yeast, reflecting techniques developed during Samuel Tinon's tenure at the Royal Tokaji Company.
