The machine-made decanter distinguishes by an elegant and complex design. Riedel whole-heartedly believes all wines - young and old, red, white or sparkling - can be enhanced by decanting. Riedel tip: Use bottle cleaners to remove stains inside the decanter.
Encourage the smooth, fruity, and full qualities of a favorite merlot to reach their peak in Riedels handsome merlot decanter. An inviting blend of simplicity and grace, the 34-1/4 ounce vessel features an elongated neck with a slight flare at the rim and a full-bellied body resting on a thickly cut round base. This traditional shape adeptly maximizes airflow to quickly bring the wine to its most drinkable state. The design is also easy to hold and blends well with any stemware for either casual or formal occasions. Crafted of lead-free crystal for brilliance and clarity, this vessel goes safely into the dishwasher-a wonderful convenience for todays home entertainer. Produced by the 300-year-old Austrian glassmaker, the decanter meets the same exacting standards Riedel requires of all its pieces. It is made in Bavaria. --Kara Karll
