Riedel Wine Tumbler O Old World Syrah 0414/41 - 2 pcs.

A Syrah from the steep terraces of the northern Rhône tastes more of black pepper and olive than of the sun-ripened fruit you find in the New World. The glass it's drunk from needs to hold that difference.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Wine Tumbler O Old World Syrah 0414/41 is a red wine glass in crystal glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel, shaped without a stem for the more restrained, peppery Syrah styles of Europe.

The glass is slightly slimmer than its Shiraz sibling in The O range, suiting the more reserved fruit and the peppery, earthy notes typically found in a European Syrah. The shape is taken from Riedel's stemmed glasses but built directly onto a solid base, so the glass holds up to everyday use without extra care.

Design & Materials

The bowl is shaped to bring out Syrah's peppery, earthy character rather than exaggerate the fruit. The glass is machine-blown in crystal glass and stemless, making it more resilient to the small mishaps that happen at a full dinner table.

Use & Recommendation

The glass is designed for European Syrah, such as those found in the northern Rhône, where spice and structure need room without being overwhelmed. It is dishwasher safe, making it practical for both weeknight dinners and gatherings with several bottles on the table.
