Riedel Sommeliers Rheingau 4400/01 - 1 pcs.

Riesling from Germany's Rheingau district lives on its bright acidity and delicate sweetness. The glass is shaped so the wine meets the tongue exactly where those two elements balance.

The Expert's Description

The Riedel Sommeliers Rheingau 4400/01 is a hand-blown wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. Each Sommeliers glass is developed for one specific wine style rather than as a general white or red wine glass – an approach that still sets the line apart from most other glass collections on the market, hand-blown or machine-made.

Design & Material

The bowl is relatively narrow and tall, hand-blown with a slight taper at the top that concentrates the Riesling's aroma before it reaches the rim. The stem is slim and light, matching the fine, elegant character the glass is built to support.

Use & Recommendation

Use the glass for German Riesling, particularly from the Rheingau district, where the narrow bowl concentrates the floral, mineral aromas. Always wash it by hand in warm water, and avoid the dishwasher for the sake of the thin crystal.
