Red wine glass SOMMELIERS BLACK TIE HERMITAGE 590 ml, Riedel

Product detailed description

The godfather of the Hermitage Sommeliers glass is Marcel Guigal (one of the best winemakers on the northern Rhone).

It is to him that we owe the fact that after a two-year development phase (1993-1995) this shape was named the best for wines from the Rhone region, for the Syrah variety.

Syrah, one of the oldest wine grape varieties, is proven to have been cultivated in the region by the ancient Romans. Syrah produces dark, full-bodied wines with high tannins and good ageing potential.

The Hermitage Sommeliers glass supports the typical aroma, reminiscent of roasted bread and black olives. The shape and flow characteristics give the wine a velvety structure with a balanced taste sensation. The tannins are woven into the fruity taste, making the tannins sweet and losing the drying, bitter aftertaste in the mouth.

We recommend the Hermitage Sommeliers Black Tie Riedel glass for:

• Châteauneuf-du-Pape
• Grenache
• Hermitage
• Mourvedre
• Shiraz, Syrah

SOMMELIERS BLACK TIE series:

Sommeliers Black Tie - a series with a touch of glamour from a glass manufactory with a rich tradition. Its hallmark is the black stem for red wine glasses and the black base for white wine glasses - in conjunction with the time-tested Sommeliers Collection chalice.

The Sommeliers Black Tie glasses will impress on their own or in combination with other traditional Riedel glasses, not only from the Sommeliers series. The Sommeliers Black Tie range is a stylish and worthy addition to the globally renowned Riedel Sommeliers series. It creates various effects consisting of harmonious interplay of colours and shapes. You will find clean, noble, but also beautifully playful shapes.

Dresscode Black Tie: a big event can take place with a touch of elegance and extravagance. The Tyrolean glass manufactory Riedel presents this spectacular series of glasses for the noble culture of dining - 50 years after the design "Pokal Hoch" or "Raise the Glass" - by Claus J. Riedel. With the hand-blown Black Tie series, Riedel Glas celebrates the 50th anniversary of this important milestone in glass design.
