Riedel Performance Syrah/Shiraz (Set of 2)

Performance – the new ultimate loudspeaker for fine wine. Lightweight, durable and dishwasher-safe, Performance glasses are executed in sparkling fine crystal and feature long fine stems and large stable bases. Performance’s unique optic impact not only adds a pleasing visual aspect to the bowl but also increases inner surface area, allowing the wine to open up and to fully show every aroma and subtle nuance.

The Shiraz/Syrah glass is perfect for balancing the fruit pepper and spice aromas, and gripping tannins often found in medium-bodied red wines.

Its accentuated egg-shaped bowl brings forward the soft fruit, earthy characteristics, and highlights a long savoury finish. It brings out the wine's silky, velvety structure and balanced flavors. The optic impact in the RIEDEL Performance series adds both a design feature and an astounding effect on wine's aromatics.

Machine-made and dishwasher safe.

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
