Riedel Vinum Syrah 6416/30 - 2 pcs.

Black pepper, dark berries and a hint of smoke - Syrah is rarely a quiet wine, and Riedel Vinum Syrah was drawn with a tall, roomy glass that gives those bold spices space to settle down.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Vinum Syrah is a machine-blown Red Wine Glass in Crystal Glass from the Austrian glassmaking house Riedel, designed specifically for spicy, powerful reds such as Syrah and Shiraz.

The glass belongs to the Vinum line, which Georg J. Riedel drew up in 1986 to make varietal-specific glassware available to far more wine lovers. If you still need the bottle itself, browse our range of Red Wine.

Design & Material

The glass is among the tallest in the Vinum line, with a wide bowl that gives the bold pepper and spice notes time and room to open up, without letting the alcohol dominate the aroma.

Use & Recommendation

Use the glass for Syrah, Shiraz and other powerful, spicy reds, as well as Rhône blends built on the same grape. It is dishwasher safe and can go straight into the dishwasher.
