Riedel Veritas Sauvignon Blanc 6449/33 - 2 pcs.

Sauvignon Blanc is best enjoyed young, cold, and with all its freshness intact. This glass's relatively slim bowl holds the chill and sends the green, citrusy aromas straight to the nose.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Veritas Sauvignon Blanc is a set of two machine-blown white wine glasses from the Austrian glassmaking house Riedel, made from crystal glass and shaped for crisp, aromatic Sauvignon Blanc. The glass belongs to Veritas, Riedel's newest and thinnest machine-blown collection.

Design & Material

The narrow, upright bowl limits the surface area so the wine stays cold longer, while directing the characteristic notes of gooseberry, grass and citrus straight to the nose. The shape is a clear contrast to the wider red wine glasses in the same range.

Use & Recommendation

The glass is shaped for crisp, high-acid Sauvignon Blanc, but generally suits light, aromatic white wines well. It's dishwasher safe, though a gentle cycle with mild detergent is kindest to the crystal.
