Riedel Vinum Syrah Glass, Set of 2, Clear

Description

This shape was developed between 1993 and 1995 following
tastings in the major Syrah growing regions, when most influential winemakers
contributed their views on how the message of their wines should be put
across. The wines made from the Australian grape variety Shiraz, give a deep
purple, almost inky colour. The nose resembles intense, rich blackberry
aromas. The flavours on the palate show mouth-filling fruit, massive structure
and a long sweet finish. The Syrah glass highlights the tannins, offering a
perfect balance with the overwhelmingly concentrated fruit.
Renowned Austrian glassmaker Riedel designs the shape of each glass to most
fully enhance the appreciation of the wine within. The Syrah glass is tall and
deep to capture the luscious fruity aroma of dark purple Syrah, or Shiraz, as
it’s known in Australia, and to highlight the tannins. Beautifully balanced
and with just the right mixture of delicacy and stability, each glass stands
9-1/4 inches tall and holds 22-7/8 ounces. This set of two makes a superb
wedding gift or adds to an existing collection for the serious wine drinker.
Comprised of more than 24 percent lead crystal for superb brilliance and
clarity, Vinum wine glasses are nevertheless affordable because they are
machine-made rather than mouth-blown. Riedel introduced the popular Vinum line
in 1986, and this particular glass in 1995. While all Vinum glassware is
dishwasher-safe, Riedel recommends washing the crystal by hand to prevent
detergent residue that can affect wine taste. –Ann Bieri
