Riedel Performance Syrah 6884/41 - 2 pcs.

Black pepper, dark berries and a touch of smoke. A Syrah from the Rhône Valley or Barossa needs a glass that gives the powerful aromas room to spread without letting the alcohol take over.

The Expert's Description

The Riedel Performance Syrah 6884/41 is a red wine glass from the Austrian glasshouse Riedel, made from crystal glass and designed for powerful, spicy red wines such as Syrah and Shiraz.

The bowl is tall and relatively wide, giving a powerful Syrah or Shiraz room to unfold its dark berry and pepper notes without the alcohol dominating the picture. The glass is machine-blown in crystal glass - Riedel's way of making the varietal-specific shape available in a more durable version than the hand-blown glasses.

Use & Recommendation

Use the glass for powerful, spicy red wines such as Syrah, Shiraz and other dark, peppery grapes. The glass is dishwasher safe and just as robust in everyday use as it is elegant on the table.
