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.

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
Riesling Glass
The Riesling glass is perfect for balancing the high acidity and residual sugar of fruit-forward white wines. This shape is the most versatile white wine glass in the RIEDEL range. It helps to balance the fresh characters and high mineral components, emphasising the wonderful fruit aromas.
Volume: 460 ccm
Height: 240 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.
