Riedel Performance Cabernet Set of 2

When developing a glass, RIEDEL’s design ideas are not born on a drawing board, but shaped by trial and error with the help and support of the world’s greatest palates.   The same wine will display completely differently characteristics when served in a variety of glasses.   The differences are so great that even experienced connoisseurs are made to believe that they are tasting different wines. The grape variety is the key factor in determining the relationship between fruit, acidity, tannin and alcohol.

The Cabernet glass is perfect for full-bodied, complex red wines that are high in tannin. The generous size of this glass allows the bouquet to develop fully, and smooths out the rough edges. It emphasizes the fruit, playing down the bitter qualities of the tannin, and allows wines to achieve balance.
