Riedel Performance Pinot Noir 6884/67 - 2 pcs.

Pinot Noir is one of the most temperamental grapes to put in a glass - too delicate for a heavy glass, too complex for a small one. The Performance line's Pinot Noir glass is drawn for exactly that balance.

The Expert's Description

The Riedel Performance Pinot Noir 6884/67 is a red wine glass from the Austrian glasshouse Riedel, made from crystal glass and shaped for the delicate, aromatic Pinot Noir grape.

The Pinot Noir glass has one of the widest bowls in the line, giving the delicate grape maximum contact with air without washing away its aromas. The wide shape is a direct continuation of Riedel's classic Burgundy thinking, just in a machine-blown, more robust crystal glass version. Looking to fill the glass with a specific wine style?

Use & Recommendation

The glass is drawn for Pinot Noir and other light to medium-bodied red wines such as Burgundy, where delicate aromas easily drown in the wrong glass. It is dishwasher safe and handles machine washing.
