RIEDEL Performance Cabernet/Merlot Glasses, Set of 4

THE ULTIMATE LOUDSPEAKER FOR FINE WINE

With three generations of expertise in crafting functional, grape-varietal-specific glassware, RIEDEL Performance represents the innovative vision of 10th and 11th-generation glassmakers Georg and Maximilian Riedel. This cutting-edge collection is the first in the RIEDEL lineup to feature bowls with a subtle optic effect, showcasing both form and function.

Extensive research by the Riedel family revealed that increasing the glass's inner surface area enhances the perception of wine’s bouquet and flavor. The optic design achieves this by expanding the surface area, allowing the wine to breathe and fully reveal its aromas and delicate nuances while adding a visually striking element to the glass.

Crafted from lightweight, durable, and sparkling crystal glass, RIEDEL Performance glasses are machine-made and dishwasher safe. The collection features refined stems, sturdy bases, and new bowl shapes designed specifically for Cabernet, Chardonnay, and Riesling. When paired with the optic effect, these shapes provide an unparalleled wine-tasting experience.

RIEDEL Performance is an essential addition to any wine enthusiast’s collection, combining innovation and elegance for ultimate wine enjoyment.
