Product Overview
The Old World Syrah glass from Riedel's 'Veritas' series is expertly crafted to complement the unique characteristics of red wines made from the Syrah grape. These wines are known for their high tannin content and distinctive aromas, including hints of spices like pepper. The elegantly designed glass features a large goblet that perfectly balances these aroma components, ensuring that the best qualities of the wine are extracted in both smell and taste.
The egg-shaped, elliptical silhouette of the 600 ml goblet enhances the wine's velvety character while bringing out its fruity and earthy notes. Each box contains two Syrah glasses, made from high-quality crystal glass that is as wafer-thin as those typically found in hand-blown designs.
You may wonder about the 'Old World' designation. In the Veritas series, Riedel offers a variety of grape variety-specific wine glasses, including those tailored for Syrah from European growing regions (referred to as 'Old World') and those from other continents (known as 'New World'). The latter is often called Shiraz. Since these wines differ significantly in taste, they require distinct goblet shapes to fully appreciate their unique profiles.
