Riedel Sommeliers Sauternes #5305

Riedel Sommeliers Sauternes (P/N 4400/55). The concentrated, distinct profile of this sweet French dessert wine calls for a vessel created with those attributes in mind. The unusual shape of the glass is immediately apparent; the reason for its unconventional curve lies in the qualities of Sauternes itself.

• The shape directs the wine to the places on the palate where the sweetness doesn't overshadow the special acidic zest.
• The deep golden hue of a well-aged Sauternes is maximized by the brilliance of mouth-blown lead-free crystal.
• Stands 8 inches tall, with a maximum capacity of 13 oz. for an average serving size of 5 oz.
