Riedel Vinum Extreme Syrah Glass, Set of 4

Though comprised of more than 24-percent lead crystal, which lends superb brilliance and clarity, Vinum glasses are affordable because they are machine-made. Each long-stemmed glass stands 9-1/2 inches tall and holds 22-1/4 ounces at full capacity. The set of four European-made glasses makes a handsome wedding gift or augments an existing collection. While dishwasher-safe, Vinum Extreme crystal, especially in the larger sizes, is best washed by hand to prevent both breakage and the detergent residue that can affect wine taste. --Ann Bieri

Product Description
Affordable elegance taken up a notch! The Riedel Vinum Extreme Wine Glass series pushes the boundaries of glassware. Riedel combines a dazzling oversized bowl with a unique angular look and an extra-tall stem to create a wine glass that is as beautiful to look at as it is to drink from. Vinum Extreme is machine made of fine lead crystal and is designed in the incomparable Riedel style to emphasize and enhance the flavors of every wine you drink. Recommend to hand wash. Wines made from the Syrah grape typically exhibit intense aromas: blackberries, pepper as well as floral scents. The narrow rim of the Riedel Vinum Extreme Shiraz / Syrah wine glass directs the flow of wine to the mid-palate, allowing you to experience the wine's silky texture and sensuous fruit flavors, while the tannins flow to the back of the palate for a smooth finish. Recommended for: Amarone, Barbera, Rhone (red). Size: 9-1/2"H, 22-1/4 oz. Riedel Model # 444/30
