Riedel Veritas Riesling / Zinfandel 6449/15 - 2 pcs.

A dry Riesling and a full-bodied Zinfandel don't have much in common on the palate, but both benefit from a glass that directs the liquid toward the tip of the tongue, where sweetness and fruit register first.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Veritas Riesling / Zinfandel is a set of two machine-blown white wine glasses from the Austrian glassmaking house Riedel, made from crystal glass and shaped for aromatic whites such as Riesling and fuller-bodied Zinfandel. The glass belongs to Veritas, Riedel's newest and thinnest machine-blown collection.

Design & Material

The relatively slim, upright bowl holds the chill and sends Riesling's floral, mineral aromas straight to the nose, while the same shape still gives a fuller-bodied Zinfandel enough air to open up. The glass is blown in the thin crystal that defines Veritas.

Use & Recommendation

The glass suits both dry, aromatic Riesling and fuller-bodied Zinfandel - two wines that don't usually share a glass, but both benefit from the shape's ability to balance sweetness and acidity. It's dishwasher safe, and a gentle cycle keeps the shine longer.
