Riedel Extreme Cabernet 4441/0 - 2 pcs.

An 800 ml bowl isn't an accident. The Riedel Extreme Cabernet is built for wines that need room to breathe - bold Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and Bordeaux blends loaded with tannin.

The Expert's Description

The Riedel Extreme Cabernet 4441/0 is a machine-blown red wine glass in crystal glass from the Austrian glasshouse Riedel, shaped specifically for full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and Bordeaux-style wines. It belongs to Riedel's Extreme collection, developed for wines with bold, intense character, where a large bowl is essential to let both fruit and tannin unfold. Looking for a bottle to go with it, take a look at our range of Red Wine.

Design & Material

The large, oval bowl is shaped to maximise the wine's contact with air, which softens tannin in young, tannic red wines. The crystal glass is machine-blown, giving a more consistent result than hand-blown glass while still staying thin enough to feel light against the lips.

Use & Recommendation

This glass suits full-bodied, tannic red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux blends and other bold grapes that benefit from breathing in the glass before drinking. It's dishwasher safe, which makes it practical for wine lovers who use their glasses often.
