Riedel Wine Decanter - Clear

Revised Content:

The Riedel Crystal Ultra Magnum Decanter, crafted in Austria by the world's most renowned wineglass maker since 1756, boasts a classic design that makes it a perfect companion for any occasion. With its elongated neck and low, wide body, this magnum-sized (1-1/2 liters) decanter is designed to allow sediments to settle, while also exposing the wine to more oxygen, which opens up the bouquet and encourages full development.

Made from 24 percent lead crystal, this hand-blown decanter not only exudes an elegant and breathtaking presence on the dinner table, but it is also built to withstand frequent trips through the dishwasher, as required by fine restaurants worldwide. However, Riedel recommends hand-washing this decanter to preserve the soft surface of the lead crystal.

The decanter's proportions are meticulously crafted, standing 9-1/2 inches high on a 9-1/2-inch-diameter base, ensuring a visually striking and balanced appearance. While the most common use of a decanter is to prevent sediment in aged red wines from spoiling the wine's clarity and brilliance, some experts also recommend decanting young red wines to allow them to bloom and reach their full potential.

This spectacular decanter, with a capacity of 70-1/2 ounces, makes for a beautiful gift item or a perfect addition to any home bar collection. Its classic design and quality craftsmanship make it a timeless and versatile piece that will elevate the enjoyment of wine for years to come.
