Riedel Extreme Pinot Noir Glass

The wide bowl is specifically designed to increase the surface area of the wine, allowing it to breathe more effectively. This aeration helps delicate red wines like Pinot Noir open up, softening their acidity and releasing their complex aromatic profiles.

Yes, while optimized for Pinot Noir, this glass works beautifully for other light-to-medium-bodied red wines with high acidity and moderate tannins, such as Gamay, Nerello Mascalese, or even certain rosés.

The laser-cut rim is intentionally thin to ensure a smooth, seamless delivery of wine to your palate. While it feels delicate and refined, it is durable enough for regular use, provided you handle the glasses with standard care.

Riedel crystal is generally dishwasher safe, but we recommend placing them on the top rack or using a specialized stemware cycle to prevent breakage. For the best longevity and to maintain the crystal's clarity, hand washing is always the safest option.

Crystal offers superior clarity and brilliance, allowing you to better appreciate the color and viscosity of your wine. It is also stronger than standard glass, which allows for the thinner, more elegant rim design without sacrificing durability.
