Riedel Sommeliers Hermitage Wine Glass

Riedel Sommeliers Hermitage Wine Glass Description

The Riedel Sommeliers Hermitage glass is expertly shaped to enhance the hallmark qualities of medium‑bodied red wines—those defined by pepper and spice, firm tannins, and deep, earthy fruit. Its accentuated egg‑shaped bowl softens structure, lifts soft fruit tones, and brings forward savoury, long‑lined finishes. The result is a glass that reveals the velvety texture and balanced flavour profile characteristic of Syrah‑based and Rhône‑style reds.

Part of the groundbreaking Sommeliers collection—the first ever “wine‑friendly” glass series—this design embodies Claus J. Riedel’s pioneering understanding of how shape influences aroma and flavour. Adhering to Bauhaus principles of functional form, the Sommeliers range remains a benchmark in varietal‑specific stemware, prized for its thin‑blown elegance, purity, and sensory precision. Each Hermitage glass is meticulously handmade, with natural variations that give every piece a unique artisanal character.

Made from premium crystal glass and fully dishwasher‑safe, it suits an exceptionally wide range of expressive red grapes—from Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre to Rioja, Sangiovese, Malbec, and more. With a capacity of 590ml and a height of 23.5cm, it provides ideal aeration for wines that reward nuance and depth.
