Riedel Performance Cabernet/Merlot Glasses, Set of 4

THE ULTIMATE LOUDSPEAKER FOR FINE WINE

With three generations of experience in creating functional, grape varietal specific glassware, RIEDEL Performance is the result of 10th and 11th generations Georg and Maximilian Riedel's drive to continually improve on what has come before. Consisting of lightweight, durable and dishwasher-safe shapes, RIEDEL Performance glasses are executed by machine in sparkling crystal glass.

This technologically advanced collection is the first RIEDEL series to feature bowls with a light optic impact. Detailed research by the Riedel family, aimed at improving the organoleptic wine experience, revealed that increasing the inner surface area of the glass had a positive impact on the perception of the bouquet and flavour of the wine. This was achieved through a unique optical effect, which not only adds a pleasing visual aspect to the bowl, but also expands the surface area, allowing the wine to open up and to fully show every aroma and subtle nuance.

With fine stems and large stable bases, the range also includes new bowl shapes for Cabernet, Chardonnay and Riesling that, when combined with the optic effect, deliver ultimate wine enjoyment. The Cabernet/Merlot glass is perfect for full-bodied, complex red wines that are high in tannin. The generous size of this glass allows the bouquet to develop fully, and smooths out the rough edges. It emphasizes the fruit, playing down the bitter qualities of the tannin, and allows wines to achieve balance.

RIEDEL Performance is a must-have glass collection for all wine lovers. The optic impact in the RIEDEL Performance series adds both a design feature and an astounding effect on wine's aromatics. RIEDEL Performance is produced by machine in crystal glass, and all RIEDEL Performance glasses are dishwasher safe.
