About Riedel

"I prefer to decant wines, both young and old. It is a sign of respect for old wines and a sign of confidence in young wines. Decanting old wines, just a few moments before they are served, helps to ensure that the wines' clarity and brilliance are not obscured by any deposit that may have developed over time. Decanting young wines several hours before they are served gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging." - (thoughts on decanting by Christian Moueix)

Key Features

The tall and slender Superleggero decanter is hand formed and freely mouth-blown, a skilful technique acquired by glassblowers in Riedel's factory in Tyrol. It includes a recess in the base to ensure easy handling, and also features a small special seal with an engraved Riedel logo on the outside of the decanter's slender neck. Box contains one piece. PLEASE NOTE: due to the hand-crafting, small tolerances in the size and weight of each decanter, tiny bubbles, slight imperfections and surface variations, are a feature and acceptable part of the process.
