Product Description
Casual and elegant, this Riedel Tyrol Pinot Noir glass is part of a brand new glass series introduced in Spring 2007. This glass stands on a solid half sphere, offering amazing light reflection, while each bowl is developed for the enjoyment of popular grape varieties and beverages. The Tyrol series is made of lead crystal, which lends itself to a solid base with great stability, while giving it never ending sparkle. The name Tyrol commemorates the Riedel Family’s new beginning 50 years ago in Austria in the federal state of Tyrol. These glasses come in a set of 2 and are designed to enhance the enjoyment of medium-bodied red wines such as Pinot Noir, Barbaresco, Barolo, Nebbiolo, and red Burgundy.Amazon.com Review
Riedel continues to impress the wine world with its innovative designs. The Tyrol line, released in 2007, adopts an intermediary position between the completely stemless O wine tumblers that set a national trend and Riedel’s long-stemmed, more fragile beauties. Each Tyrol glass features a short stem, more of a foot really, that is half of a solid sphere, lending great stability and reducing breakage worries. Crafted in Bavaria of sparkling leaded crystal yet dishwasher-safe, Tyrol is perfect for a casual, more contemporary approach to fine dining at home.
This set includes two Tyrol Pinot Noir glasses, each with a maximum capacity of 24 ounces and measuring 5-1/2 inches in height. Riedel designed the shape and size of the glass to bring out the best attributes of medium-bodied red wines such as Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo, and Burgundy. The pair makes an excellent gift. Out of a long 250-year history, the renowned Riedel glass company has been based in the Austrian state of Tyrol for 50 years now, hence the commemorative name of the new collection. –Ann Bieri
