Riedel Sommeliers Tinto Reserva Wine Glass

Riedel Sommeliers Tinto Reserva Wine Glass Description

The Riedel Sommeliers Tinto Reserva glass is tailored for exceptional Tempranillo‑based wines, especially the top Gran Reservas of Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Developed in 1987 through tastings with leading growers, its bowl shape is designed specifically to complement this expressive yet idiosyncratic grape variety. The generous 620ml volume allows oak‑aged Tempranillo to expand and reveal its depth, highlighting its tannic structure, long finish, and impressive ageability.

Handmade from clear crystal glass, each piece carries the unique character of artisanal crafting, displaying subtle variations that reflect its individual creation. True to the philosophy of the pioneering Sommeliers collection—the world’s first wine‑friendly glass series—this design adheres to the Bauhaus principle that form follows function. Thin‑blown, refined, and unadorned, it embodies Claus J. Riedel’s revolutionary discovery that the right glass shape profoundly enhances wine’s aroma, balance, and flavour.

Fully dishwasher‑safe, the Tinto Reserva glass is ideal for grape varieties such as Tempranillo, Graciano, and Tinta de Toro, offering precision, elegance, and heritage in every pour. Its height of 24.8cm provides the perfect proportions for aeration, making it an essential choice for lovers of Spanish red wines.
