Riedel 26-1/2-oz. Tyrol Crystal Decanter

The name Tyrol commemorates Riedel`s new start 50 years ago in Austria in the federal State of Tyrol. Riedel’s Tyrol Decanter combines sophistication and elegance. Its long, low shape allows maximum aeration for young and vintage wines. This process releases flavors and aromas, which enhance the attributes of your wine by exposing it to oxygen. This unique piece is designed with a sleek neck for comfortable grip and an angled opening for graceful, drip-free pouring. It is the perfect addition to any wine collection. Crafted from lead crystal in Austria. “Decanting old wines, just a few moments before they are served, helps to ensure that the wines’ clarity and brilliance are not obscured by any deposit that may have developed over time. Decanting young wines several hours before they are served gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging.” (Thoughts on decanting by Christian Moueix)

58-oz. Wine Decanter

To enjoy your wine at it’s finest, it helps to decant it, allowing the oxygen to blend with the wine surface and bring out the true bouquet and flavors. The wider the surface area met with air, the better. That’s why this decanter in hand blown glass is so ideal. The simple, modern lines are attractive, while the wide base offers maximum surface area exposure when filled only part way. Enjoy this decanter at dinner or cocktail parties or give as a gift to a host or hostess.
