RIEDEL Vinum Extreme Syrah/Shiraz
The diamond-shaped machine-made Syrah and Shiraz glass of the eye-catching glass collection Vinum Extreme is focused on New World Wines. It is shaped to deliver the classic Syrah aromas of toast and black olives. On the palate, it brings out the wine's silky, velvety structure and balanced flavours. The tannins melt into the fruit, appearing sweet rather than acerbic on the back palate. A very specific glass was required to showcase and highlight the special qualities presented in the more perfect wines from the New World. All RIEDEL glasses are dishwasher safe.

Caring for your RIEDEL Crystal
- RIEDEL glasses are dishwasher safe. RIEDEL exclusively recommends MIELE
- To avoid stains: use soft water (low mineral content)
- To avoid scratches: Avoid glass contact with other glass or metal
- To remove stains: use white vinegar
- If available use a stemware rack
- Wash the glass under warm water (use detergent and rinse the glass carefully)
- Glass polishing: Use two polishing cloths, never hold the glass by the base to polish the bowl
- Stem snap: Occurs through mishandling = torque or bend pressure at the stem
- Storage: Avoid glass storage in kitchen cabinets which have strong aromas that translates into glass
- Wash at boiling temperature (to kill bacteria) with odorless soap
- Should be machine washed at min. 170° F/75° C
- Never use fabric softener when rinsing your microfiber polishing cloth (avoids grease film on surface)

Vinum Extreme
2004
VINUM EXTREME was produced to keep up with the steady improvement of New World wines, enhancing their intense structure. A very specific glass was required to showcase and highlight the special qualities presented in the more perfect wines from the New World. These wines call for shapes which can “handle“ the concentration and translate the wine‘s message in a perfect way.

We do not have measurements to offer on each glass in regards to the thinness of the lip, but all RIEDEL glasses are beautiful thin blown crystal. Our rims are “cut”, which allows the wine to flow smoothly onto the tongue vs. being “rolled” which obstructs the smooth flow of the wine which accentuates acidity and harshness.
