RIEDEL Extreme Shiraz Glasses 709ml (Pack of 12) (FW806)

Pack Quantity: 12

Extreme glasses are named for their extreme contours and have diamond-shaped bowls that angle out dramatically before narrowing at the top. The Shiraz glass is perfect for balancing the gripping tannins and concentrated fruit typical of medium-bodied red wines.

This shape was developed between 1993-1995 following sensory workshops in major Shiraz growing regions, and has become the most versatile red wine shape in the RIEDEL range. With a slightly tapered opening, the large bowl develops the intense aromas, and demonstrates mouth filling fruit, dignified structure, and a long sweet finish on the palate. This glass highlights the rich fruit-forward characters and tempers the high acidity of the wine. The tulip-shaped bowl captures all the nuances of the wine's aroma. The generous size of this glass allows the bouquet to develop fully, and smooths out the rough edges. It emphasises the fruit, playing down the bitter qualities of the tannin, and allows wines to achieve balance.
