Riedel Extreme Riesling 4441/15 - 2 pcs.

Riesling can be bone dry or bursting with blossom and ripe stone fruit, depending on vintage and terroir. The Riedel Extreme Riesling is shaped to capture that aroma without ever stealing the show from the wine.

The Expert's Description

The Riedel Extreme Riesling 4441/15 is a machine-blown white wine glass in crystal glass from Riedel, shaped for aromatic white wines such as Riesling and similar grapes with a distinct aromatic profile. It belongs to the Extreme collection, built for wines with intense character, whether that's tannin in a red wine or the sharp acidity and volatile aromas of a dry Riesling.

Design & Material

The bowl is narrower than the red wine glasses in the collection, which holds the temperature and directs the aroma up toward the nose, while there's still enough volume for the wine to breathe a little. The crystal glass is machine-blown, giving a consistent quality from glass to glass.

Use & Recommendation

This glass suits aromatic, high-acid white wines such as Riesling, but also works well for other fragrant grapes that need a glass that holds on to the chill. It's dishwasher safe, making it easy to use every day.

Did You Know?

It was Georg Riedel who created the Vinum collection in 1986 - the first machine-blown glassware programme able to match the quality of hand-blown glass. That breakthrough made it possible to produce varietal-specific wine glasses like this Riesling glass for a much wider circle of wine lovers.
