Riedel has been known for over four decades for designing the most finely tuned instruments for every level of wine sophistication as well, today, as the finest wine glasses in all price categories. While a glass cannot alter a fine wine or spirit, it can and does dramatically alter our perception of it.
In 1958, Riedel introduced the Burgundy Grand Cru glass, the only stemware on permanent display in New York City's Museum of Modern Art. Since then, Riedel has designed over 100 glasses. As a connoisseur of fine wines and spirits (Georg was named Decanter Magazine's 1996 Man of the Year), Riedel develops new glass shapes to enhance the world's most exciting and complex beverages at tasting workshops with leading international wine and spirit producers rather than on a drawing board or by computer. Most of Riedel's glasses in a myriad of shapes ranging in size from thimble to fish bowl were created to highlight the finest characteristics of the particular liquids they would direct onto the palate. That is, each glass was developed for a single individual beverage and therefore has a specific purpose.
Developed by Georg Riedel on the principle that content commands shape. Each glass, tailored to a specific grape varietal, highlights its particular flavors by directing where the wine first meets the tongue. 24% lead crystal. Hand wash. Made in Germany. Riedel produces a range of 24% lead crystal glasses, with shapes and sizes to suit your wine, maximising the taste, aroma and finish. Combining Charles Mitchell finest wines with Riedel finest glasses is a match made in heaven and they are available exclusively to our customers.
Designed by Georg Riedel, the glass has a soft pink stem and clear bowl to complement any color. The glass will be sold in sets of two for, attractively packaged as a pair in a black box adorned by a pink ribbon, wherever Riedel is sold. LBBC receives 15 percent of proceeds.
