Fine wine deserves a fine glass. Riedel's Performance glasses are described as"the new ultimate loudspeaker for fine wine". So, when you've got wine that's worth making some noise about, turn up the volume with these machine-made and grape varietal specific glasses. The Performance glasses were developed using the research from three generation of the Riedel family to improve the organoleptic (sensory) wine experience. Each crystal glass features a fine, laser-cut rim; a seamless, pulled stem; and a unique optical effect that not only creates a pleasing visual, but also increases the inner surface, allowing the wine to open up and fully show its subtle aromatics and nuances. Riedel's Performance Chardonnay Glasses have been designed to enhance all styles of this variety, particularly oaky styles. So, whether you're into crisp Grand Cru Chablis or rich Pouilly-Fuisse, this is the glass for you. These durable, dishwasher-safe and versatile glasses are also excellent for more fruit-driven Australian and American styles, as well as white Rhône, white Rioja, Viognier and white wines from Jura and Savoie. The Riedel family can trace their trade in luxury glassware back to Johann Cristoph, born in 1673. Now in the hands of the 11th generation, Maximilian Josef Riedel, this multi-award-winning, family-run business has become as entwinedwith the world of fine wine as the vines themselves. Combining science, the experience of some of the world's finest palates and a pinch of magic, they design their glorious glasses to enhance the bouquet, texture, flavour, finish and pleasure delivered by specific grape varieties. Anyone lucky enough to attend one of their wine glass tasting events will be converted for life. The adage of having'the right tool for the right job'has never been more fitting than when enjoying wine from a Riedel.
