Riedel Veloce Riesling

This glass is specifically engineered for New World Riesling, but its shape also performs beautifully with other fruit-forward white wines like Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio. The design is intended to balance high acidity with residual sugar, highlighting the fruit character of these varietals.

Yes, these glasses are dishwasher safe. Because they are machine-made with precision, they are durable enough for regular dishwasher cycles, though we recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring they are spaced properly to prevent breakage.

The unique angular bowl design is not just aesthetic; it increases the surface area of the wine, which helps aerate it more effectively. This shape directs the flow of wine to the palate in a way that emphasizes fruit aromas and balances the acidity, making the wine taste more harmonious.

The Veloce series is designed to offer the lightness and fine rim feel of handmade crystal while benefiting from the consistency of machine production. While they lack the slight variations of a mouth-blown glass, they provide a remarkably similar tactile experience at a more accessible level of craftsmanship.

Each glass has a capacity of 20.0 ounces (570.0ccm). This generous size allows for proper swirling and aeration, which is essential for opening up the aromatic profile of white wines.
