Riedel Extreme Oaked Chardonnay 4441/97 - 2 pcs.

A Chardonnay aged in oak has an entirely different character from its unoaked sibling - more butter, vanilla and toasted notes. The Riedel Extreme Oaked Chardonnay is shaped specifically for that style.

The Expert's Description

The Riedel Extreme Oaked Chardonnay 4441/97 is a machine-blown white wine glass in crystal glass from Riedel, designed for full-bodied, oak-aged white wines such as a mature Chardonnay. The glass's name is unusually specific within Riedel's range, where most glasses are named after a grape variety rather than a production method - a sign of how much difference Riedel believes there is between an oaked and an unoaked Chardonnay.

Design & Material

The large, wide bowl gives the wine plenty of surface area, allowing the rich, toasted, creamy notes from oak ageing to unfold, while the shape still directs the aroma up toward the nose. The crystal glass is machine-blown, giving a sturdy yet elegant finish.

Use & Recommendation

This glass suits full-bodied, oak-aged white wines such as Chardonnay, but also works for other bold white wines with a round, creamy style. It's dishwasher safe and well suited to frequent use.

Did You Know?

Riedel's approach to wine glasses is precise enough that they distinguish between an unoaked Chardonnay and one aged on oak - two expressions of the same grape can call for two different glasses in Riedel's view.
