Riedel Wine Tumbler O Riesling / Sauvignon Blanc 0414/15 - 2 pcs.

A cold, crisp Riesling on a hot summer day should smell of green apple and lime long before the glass reaches your mouth. That calls for a narrower bowl than the heavier red wine glasses, and that's exactly what this glass is shaped for.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Wine Tumbler O Riesling / Sauvignon Blanc 0414/15 is a white wine glass in crystal glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel, shaped without a stem for aromatic, high-acid white wines such as Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc.

The glass follows the same principle as the rest of The O range: the bowl is taken from Riedel's stemmed glasses and set directly onto a solid base, so you get the same experience of aroma and flavour without worrying about a wobbly stem. The slightly slimmer shape holds onto the aromatic, floral notes these grapes are known for particularly well.

Design & Materials

The bowl is narrower than on the red wine glasses in the range, which suits the high acidity and intense aroma of Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc well. The glass is machine-blown in crystal glass and stemless, making it just as sturdy as the rest of The O family.

Use & Recommendation

The glass is designed for fresh, aromatic white wines such as Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc, where acidity and aroma need to stand out sharply. It is dishwasher safe, making it just as suited to an everyday glass of wine as to summer dinners outdoors.
