Riedel Vinum Syrah Glass, Set of 2, Clear

Product Description

This shape used to be developed between 1993 and 1995 following tastings in the major Syrah growing regions, when most influential winemakers contributed their views on how the message of their wines will have to be put across. The wines made from the Australian grape variety Shiraz, give a deep purple, almost inky colour. The nose resembles intense, rich blackberry aromas. The flavours on the palate show mouth-filling fruit, massive structure and a long sweet finish. The Syrah glass highlights the tannins, offering a perfect balance with the overwhelmingly concentrated fruit.

Renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel designs the shape of each glass to most fully toughen the appreciation of the wine within. The Syrah glass is tall and deep to capture the luscious fruity aroma of dark purple Syrah, or Shiraz, as it’s known in Australia, and to highlight the tannins. Beautifully balanced and with just the right mixture of delicacy and stability, each glass stands 9-1/4 inches tall and holds 22-7/8 ounces. This set of two makes a superb wedding gift or adds to an existing collection for the serious wine drinker.

Comprised of more than 24 percent lead crystal for superb brilliance and clarity, Vinum wine glasses are however affordable because they’re machine-made reasonably than mouth-blown. Riedel introduced the preferred Vinum line in 1986, and this particular glass in 1995. Even as all Vinum glassware is dishwasher-Protected, Riedel recommends washing the crystal by hand to prevent detergent residue that can have an effect on wine taste. –Ann Bieri
