Riedel Vitis Syrah Glass, Set of 2

Riedel designs the shape and size of each glass to enhance a particular variety of wine. The impressive 23-1/2-ounce capacity and diamond shape of the Vitis Syrah bowl is designed to provide ample surface area for appreciating the bouquet and flavor of rich, fruity Syrah, or as it's known in Australia, Shiraz. In addition, the 10-1/4-inch height adds to the sophisticated feel of the two brilliant and beautifully balanced glasses in the set. Vitis crystal comes in a handsome Riedel box and makes a superb gift for the wine connoisseur or for anyone starting or adding to a wine glass collection. To preserve the clarity of the crystal and avoid stem breakage, the glasses are best washed by hand. --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
