Originally from Sainte-Croix-du-Mont, Samuel Tinon settled in Tokaj after becoming convinced the region belongs among the world's great wine destinations. After 15 years studying and consulting in Tokaj, he founded his own winery in 2000. Farming by hand without herbicides or pesticides, Tinon focuses on expressing the character of Tokaj's volcanic and loess soils through traditional wines ranging from dry Furmint to Aszú and Dry Szamorodni.

This Furmint comes from Megyer Hill near Sárospatak, where deep red volcanic soils and a cool, north-facing exposure shape a focused, mineral-driven expression. Hand-harvested fruit is pressed directly into Hungarian oak and aged on the lees for nine months, producing a textured, high-acid wine with remarkable purity and structure.
