Riedel Cabernet Wine Decanter

The Riedel Cabernet Decanter (1440/13) is an everyday decanter with an angular body designed for controlled aeration. It lets wine open up gradually as it is poured and rests, and Riedel describes it as suitable for wines of all ages.

It is sized for one standard 750 ml bottle, with extra room above the wine for air contact. Young wines gain air contact as they are poured in and rest, while older wines can be poured off their sediment. Its compact height means it fits on most tables and in most cabinets.

The decanter is part of Riedel's machine-made range. These pieces are produced with glassblowing machinery for consistent shape and wall thickness, and they are made of crystal glass for clarity. It arrives in a RIEDEL-branded gift box.

Care: Riedel lists this decanter as dishwasher safe. Rinse it with clear water soon after use so wine does not sit in the decanter, and Riedel suggests RIEDEL Bottle Cleaner (sold separately) for stains.

About RIEDEL: RIEDEL is a family-owned glassmaker founded in 1756 and now led by the 11th generation of the Riedel family. The company is known for grape-varietal-specific wine glasses, and it makes decanters both by hand and by machine, all in crystal glass. Riedel holds that young and old wines alike can benefit from decanting, whether to separate an older wine from its sediment or to give a younger wine air so it tastes smoother and rounder.
