Why choose this glass over similar glasses?
Slightly more symmetrical shape than other Riedel glasses intended for Syrah, for greater visual appeal.
The high quality material and design result in a uniquely resonant and musical ring upon clinking.
The Sommeliers line was the very first to tailor design specifications to individual varietals.
Each glass in the Riedel Sommeliers line is sold individually.
Riedel Sommeliers wine glasses were praised by Robert Parker as ‘The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes’
