Riedel Extreme Shiraz Glass 710ml (Set of 6)

The Shiraz glass is an ideal match for harmonising the firm tannins and richly concentrated fruit characteristics commonly found in medium-bodied red wines.

This glass boasts a diamond-shaped design that elegantly complements robust New World wines. Its pronounced angles provide ample space for aromas to flourish.

Its expansive bowl, coupled with a slightly tapered opening, fosters the development of intense aromatics, showcasing a mouth-filling fruitiness, distinguished structure, and a lingering sweet finish on the palate.

The Extreme glasses earn their name from their distinctive contours, resembling the polished facets of diamonds. Their wide angles create a generous breathing space for the wine. These glasses are precisely crafted to enhance and highlight the pleasant smoothness and generally fruity undertones of New World wines.

ABOUT RIEDEL

When developing a glass, RIEDEL's design ideas are not born on a drawing board, but shaped by trial and error with the help and support of the world's greatest palates. A person interested in wine is led by color, bouquet and taste, but often the glass is not considered as an instrument to convey the wine's message. Over the years, RIEDEL has acquired some interesting scientific explanations as to why the shape of a glass influences the bouquet and taste of alcoholic beverages. The first discovery was made while enjoying wine. The same wine displayed completely differently characteristics when served in a variety of glasses. The differences were so great that experienced connoisseurs were made to believe that they were tasting different wines. The grape variety is the key factor in determining the relationship between fruit, acidity, tannin and alcohol. As the next step, RIEDEL was able to create shapes in which the wine, vinified from specific grape varieties, seemed to improve. We started to recognize the complex role that size and shape play in conveying the message of a fine wine.
