Riedel Extreme Cabernet (Set of 2/Set of 4)

Extreme glasses derive their name from their extreme contours. The bowls are reminiscent of polished diamonds that spread out wide and taper off at the top. This allows the wine plenty of room to breathe, enhancing and emphasizing the pleasant softness and generally fruity notes of the New World wines.

The Cabernet/Merlot glass is perfect for full-bodied, complex red wines that are high in tannin.

The generous size of this glass allows the bouquet to develop fully and smooths out the rough edges. It emphasises the fruit, playing down the bitter qualities of the tannin, and allows wines to achieve balance. This glass showcases the majestically structured red wines in all their complexity and finesse. Machine-made and dishwasher safe.
