Description
The Riedel Performance Cabernet/Merlot glass is designed for full-bodied, complex red wines that are rich in tannins. Its generous size allows the bouquet to develop fully, smoothing out the rough edges and emphasizing the fruit, while de-emphasizing the bitter qualities of the tannin. This glass shape was re-developed in 2018 to enhance its ability to showcase the aromatics of Cabernet and Merlot wines. A key feature of this Performance series glass is its optic impact, which not only adds a striking design element but also significantly improves the aromatics of the wine. Co-designed by Georg and Maximilian Riedel, the glass is the result of advanced technology that blends precision with aesthetics, delivering a top-tier experience for wine lovers.

Riedel is shipped free across Canada on orders over $149. Riedel has been producing hand-blown wine glasses since the 1950's, but what has distinguished them from other manufacturers is their discovery In 1973 that the bouquet, taste, balance, and finish of wines is affected by the shape of the glass from which the wine is drank from. With this knowledge Riedel has produced many different shapes of wine glasses to best highlight the different characteristics of different types of wine, and today offers over 150 different wine glasses and wine products to best showcase your wine.
