The Hermitage/Syrah glass is perfect for balancing the aromas of fruit, peppers and spice, and the powerful tannins often found in medium-bodied red wines. Its accentuated ovoid shape highlights sweet fruit and earthy characteristics and underlines a long, savoury finish. It brings out the wine's silky, velvety structure and its balanced flavours.
The RIEDEL Superleggero is a masterpiece of cutting-edge technology. The collection features the tallest, thinnest and lightest glasses, with the widest base diameter, ever machine-made. Perfectly balanced, they have the look and feel of a handmade glass. Each glass bears, at the centre of the base, a grape-variety-specific code that allows it to be identified.
Syrah wines — Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage in the northern Rhône, and Australia as Shiraz — share a powerful structure, firm tannins and a spicy aromatic signature: black pepper, blackberry, violet, black olive, smoked meat, garrigue.
The Shiraz / Côtes du Rhône glass, with a wide bowl and a slightly incurved rim, concentrates that complexity while taming often dense tannins. Ideal for an elegant Côte-Rôtie as well as a more extroverted Australian Shiraz. Serve at 16–18°C.
The lightest hand-blown glasses in the world
Superleggero reaches extreme thinness — sometimes less than a millimetre — while remaining resilient. Hand-blown by Riedel artisans, they are the ultimate glasses for the most subtle nuances.
The Austrian art of the wine glass since 1756.
Riedel is the Austrian house that revolutionized modern wine service by creating the first grape-specific glass. Each shape is designed to direct the wine to the optimal zone of the tongue and release the bouquet of that style.
