Riedel Extreme Shiraz 4441/32 - 2 pcs.

Shiraz and Syrah are grapes built on spice, pepper and dark fruit. The Riedel Extreme Shiraz gives that character room to spread out in the glass before it reaches the nose.

The Expert's Description

The Riedel Extreme Shiraz 4441/32 is a machine-blown red wine glass in crystal glass from Riedel, shaped specifically for the bold, peppery style of Shiraz and Syrah. Like the rest of the Extreme collection, it's built for wines with intense character, where a large bowl is essential to let both fruit and spice develop. If you need the bottle to go with it, take a look at our range of Red Wine.

Design & Material

The wide bowl gives the wine plenty of contact with air, softening the strong tannin found in a Shiraz, while the slightly tapered rim holds on to the peppery, spiced aromas that define the grape. The glass is machine-blown crystal glass, giving a consistent quality from glass to glass.

Use & Recommendation

This glass suits Shiraz, Syrah and other bold, spiced red wines that benefit from breathing before drinking. It's dishwasher safe, so it's easy to use every day.
