Riedel Sommeliers Loire 4400/33 - 1 pcs.

Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley is known for its sharp, almost piercing acidity. The glass is built to soften it slightly, without the wine losing its characteristic freshness.

The Expert's Description

The Riedel Sommeliers Loire 4400/33 is a hand-blown wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. The Sommeliers line covers wine styles from around the world – from Bordeaux and Burgundy to the white wines of the Loire Valley – making it one of the broadest hand-blown glass collections Riedel has ever made.

Design & Material

The bowl is hand-blown with a moderate taper that guides where the wine first meets the tongue – crucial for how a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc is experienced. The stem is slim, matching the glass's light, elegant character.

Use & Recommendation

Use the glass for crisp, acidic white wines from the Loire Valley, such as Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. Wash it by hand in warm water without soap, and let it air dry to avoid marks and damage to the thin crystal.
