Riedel Veloce Tasting Set (Set of 4)

RIEDEL Veloce uses the latest manufacturing technology to create products that feel handmade but offer the precision of machine production. With a lighter and finer profile, the glasses are ideal for new world wines and feature a 100mm diameter base inscribed with the designated grape variety. 

This Tasting Set contains 4 glasses from the RIEDEL Veloce series: Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.

Try your wine from 2 red wine and 2 white wine glasses and discover how the shape and size of your glass affect your perception of aroma and flavour. Each of the glasses in this set has been developed in a RIEDEL Sensory Workshop, designed to elevate and balance particular grape varieties for the ultimate experience in wine enjoyment.

Machine-made and dishwasher safe.

Cabernet

The Cabernet glass is perfect for full-bodied, complex red wines that are high in tannin. This glass shape has been redeveloped as part of this collection. Its diamond shape works beautifully for big and bold New World wines as the extreme angles offer more space to develop aromas. The generous size of this glass emphasises fruit, smooths out the rough edges and bitter qualities of the tannin, and allows wines to achieve balance.

Volume: 820 ccm

Height: 250 mm

Pinot Noir

The Pinot Noir glass is perfect for light-bodied red wines with high acidity and moderate tannin. This glass has a diamond shape that works beautifully for big and bold New World wines, as the extreme angles offer more space to develop aromas. This glass captures nuances in the wine’s profile, highlights the rich fruit-forward characters, and tempers the high acidity of the wine.

Volume: 950 ccm

Height: 250 mm

Sauvignon Blanc

The Sauvignon Blanc glass is perfect for all styles of this variety, from the grassy, fruit-forward wines of the Marlborough to the oak-aged, honeyed blends from Bordeaux. The glass offers freshness and intensity on the nose, a harmonious palate, with an excellent balance of fruit and acidity, and a minerally finish.

Volume: 347 ccm

Height: 250 mm

Chardonnay

The Chardonnay glass is perfect to reveal the intensity of full-bodied white wines, including the wine's multi-layered aromas. With a larger volume, the wide open-mouthed bowl enables the rich bouquet to develop its wonderfully diverse range of aromas, emphasizing the finesse while minimizing the risk of richer style white wines becoming over-concentrated.

Caring for your RIEDEL Crystal

• To avoid stains: use soft water (low mineral content)
• To avoid scratches: Avoid glass contact with other glass or metal
• To remove stains: use white vinegar
• If available use a stemware rack

If washing by hand

• Wash the glass under warm water (use detergent and rinse the glass carefully)
• Glass polishing: Use two polishing cloths, never hold the glass by the base to polish the bowl
• Stem snap: Occurs through mishandling = torque or bend pressure at the stem
• Storage: Avoid glass storage in kitchen cabinets which have strong aromas that translates into glass
