Riedel Sommeliers Rosé 4400/04 - 1 pcs.

A cool summer evening, a bottle of rosé, and a glass shaped to bring out both the colour and the delicate berry notes – that's the whole idea behind this glass from the Sommeliers line.

The Expert's Description

The Riedel Sommeliers Rosé 4400/04 is a hand-blown wine glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel's Sommeliers line, made from crystal glass. The shape of a Sommeliers glass is never arbitrary – every glass in the line has been developed through tasting trials, where the glassblowers adjusted the bowl's height and width until the wine hit the tongue in the right place. The Rosé glass has a wider, lower bowl than most white wine glasses in the line, so you get both the aroma and the wine's slightly cool freshness at once.

Design & Material

The wide but not overly deep bowl is hand-blown to display the wine's colour clearly, while also keeping the rosé cool a little longer than a narrower glass would. The crystal is left undecorated, so the colour in the glass stands entirely on its own.

Use & Recommendation

The glass suits most styles of rosé, from the dry Provence style to slightly fuller-bodied versions. Wash it by hand in warm water without soap, as a dishwasher's heat can make the hand-blown crystal brittle over time.
