Riedel Performance Chardonnay Oaked 6884/97 - 2 pcs.

Vanilla, butter and toasted oak - a barrel-aged Chardonnay carries clear traces of the cask it has lived in. This glass is shaped to bring out those notes without drowning out the fruit itself.

The Expert's Description

The Riedel Performance Chardonnay Oaked 6884/97 is a white wine glass from the Austrian glasshouse Riedel, made from crystal glass and designed for barrel-aged, full-bodied Chardonnay wines.

The bowl is wider at the base than on the Sauvignon Blanc glass, giving room for the rounder, oak-driven notes of a barrel-aged Chardonnay - vanilla, butter and toasted nuts - without them overpowering the fruit. The glass is machine-blown in crystal glass.

Use & Recommendation

Use the glass for barrel-aged, full-bodied white wines such as oaked Chardonnay, but also other white wines that have matured on wood. The glass is dishwasher safe and can be washed in the machine without any issues.
