Riedel Veritas New World Shiraz 6449/30 - 2 pcs.

A powerful, sun-ripened Shiraz from Australia or South Africa fills the glass generously - quite literally. This is the tallest glass in the entire Veritas range, and the extra height gives the concentrated fruit room to spread out.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Veritas New World Shiraz is a set of two machine-blown red wine glasses from the Austrian glassmaking house Riedel, made from crystal glass and shaped for bold, fruit-driven New World Shiraz, such as from Australia. The glass belongs to Veritas, Riedel's newest and thinnest machine-blown collection.

Design & Material

At 246 mm tall, this is the tallest glass in the Veritas range. The large, elongated bowl gives room to the concentrated dark berry and spice character typical of Shiraz from warmer climates, while the shape still keeps the alcohol in check on the nose.

Use & Recommendation

The glass is built for bold, sun-ripened New World Shiraz, but also works well with other full-bodied reds. If you need the right bottle, take a look at our range of Red Wine. It's dishwasher safe, though a gentle wash keeps the shine best.

Did You Know?

Riedel names its glasses after grape varieties rather than wine regions - a deliberate detail that underlines the company's core philosophy: it's the grape, not the label, that determines the shape of the glass.
