RIEDEL Performance Tasting Set

The RIEDEL Performance Tasting Set is designed to reveal how profoundly glass shape influences the perception of wine. Developed through intensive RIEDEL Sensory Workshops, each glass in the set is calibrated to highlight the unique DNA of specific grape varieties. When wines are compared side by side, differences in aroma, texture, balance, and flavour expression become unmistakable. The distinctive optic impact of the Performance series increases inner surface area, allowing the wine to open and unfold with precision. This set transforms tasting into an immersive experience, where function guides enjoyment and every sip becomes more expressive. The egg shaped form with optical impact is defined by smooth, rounded contours and a structured surface that increases the inner surface area, allowing the wine to open up and reveal greater aromatic nuance. This harmonious shape supports a layered aromatic release while balancing visual refinement with sensory performance.

Pure and elegant, transparent crystal glassware takes center stage. Made from crystal glass, combining brilliance, clarity, and durability with timeless design, making it an elegant addition to entertaining, dining, and everyday living. Glass may break if dropped or tipped over and can create sharp shards. Handle with care. The stemmed glass embodies elegance, balance, and refined sophistication. Defined by its distinct stem and graceful form, it elevates every drinking experience, making it ideal for both professional and home settings.

RIEDEL Performance is a groundbreaking machine-made collection created by Georg and Maximilian J. Riedel. Featuring RIEDEL’s first-ever optic impact, these fine crystal glass bowls expand the inner surface area to unlock the full aroma and flavour of every wine. Lightweight, durable, and dishwasher safe, the collection combines varietal-specific precision with modern brilliance. Long, elegant stems and stable bases complete a design that delivers unmatched performance for wine lovers. Premium machine-made glassware is produced using unparalleled glassmaking technology that enables lightweight, thinly blown profiles and shapes previously reserved for handmade glassware. Crafted in RIEDEL's own factories, this glassware offers unmatched sensory accuracy, turning every sip into a celebration.

This tasting set from the RIEDEL Performance collection includes 1 Syrah / Shiraz glass, 1 Sauvignon Blanc glass, 1 Pinot Noir glass, and 1 Chardonnay glass. Each glass is carefully crafted to enhance the distinct aromas and flavors of its varietal, providing wine enthusiasts with a versatile and elegant way to explore how glass shape influences wine tasting. RIEDEL dishwasher-safe glassware is designed to unite luxury with practicality. Most RIEDEL glasses are dishwasher-safe and, under good operating conditions, can withstand 1000 wash cycles without any demonstrable loss of shine or clarity. When loading your machine, place your glasses on the top shelf of the dishwasher and use the glass holder if your dishwasher has one. Make sure that the glasses do not touch any other objects, such as metal utensils or cups, or come into contact with other racks or the spray arms. Certain RIEDEL glasses may be too tall to fit in the top rack. If your dishwasher has a special glassware program, you can carefully place such glasses in the bottom rack, following the instructions above. Otherwise, they should be cleaned by hand.
