To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Sommeliers, Riedel introduces a new version of Riedel Superleggero. The goal is to bring forward a product that matches the current handmade edition and at the same time sets a new benchmark for machine-made production.
The glasses are new version machine made glass series which are dishwasher safe and are perfectly balanced instruments for drinking pleasure, which not only impress with their lightness, but also with their slimmer appearance.
The Bordeaux Grand Cru glass is perfect for full-bodied, complex red wines that are high in tannin. This shape was one of the original 'wine friendly' glasses designed by 9th generation Claus J. RIEDEL. 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.
