Riedel Winewings Riesling Wine Glass, Single Glass

Reveal everything that makes Riesling one of the world's most complex and misunderstood white wines with the Riedel Winewings Riesling Wine Glass (1234/15). One of three white wine shapes in Georg Riedel's revolutionary Winewings collection — and notably the largest of the three at approximately 34 oz — this glass is specifically calibrated for Riesling's unique and demanding sensory challenge: a grape defined by the interplay of powerful floral aromas, crisp acidity, residual sugar, and stony mineral precision, with no oak and no malolactic fermentation to smooth its edges.

Georg Riedel identifies Riesling as one of three white varietals so distinct in flavor profile and mouthfeel that each requires its own dedicated glass to be fully appreciated — alongside Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The Winewings Riesling shape resolves Riesling's greatest serving challenge: the need to simultaneously celebrate its extraordinary aromatic intensity while balancing its naturally high acidity and, in sweeter styles, its residual sugar. The flat, stretched, wing-shaped base maximizes aroma intensity, while the egg-shaped bowl gathers fragrance toward the nose and softens sharp edges on the palate — creating the balance between freshness and fruit that allows great Riesling to show its full depth and complexity rather than reading as tart or one-dimensional.

Works beautifully across the full range of Riesling styles — from bone-dry Alsatian Grand Cru to Mosel Spätlese to late-harvest Auslese and TBA — delivering fresh characters, high mineral components, and the wonderful fruit aromas that define this noble grape at every sweetness level. At 9.84" tall and approximately 34 oz capacity, with a widest point of 4.65". Machine-made lead-free crystal. Dishwasher safe. Sold individually. From Riedel since 1756.

Key Product Features

• The Largest Winewings White — Calibrated for Riesling's Unique Sensory Challenge: The most generously proportioned of the three Winewings white wine shapes at approximately 34 oz — designed for Riesling's extraordinary sensory demand: balancing powerful floral aromas, crisp high acidity, residual sugar, and stony mineral precision in a grape defined by no oak and no malolactic fermentation.
• Flat Wing-Shaped Base & Egg-Shaped Bowl — Maximum Aroma with Softened Acidity: The flat, stretched, wing-shaped base maximizes the surface area between wine and air for greater evaporation and aroma intensity, while the egg-shaped bowl gathers fragrance toward the nose and softens sharp edges on the palate — creating the precise balance between freshness, fruit, and mineral that great Riesling demands.
• Balances High Acidity & Residual Sugar — Emphasizes Wonderful Fruit Aromas: The precisely calibrated shape balances the fresh characters and high mineral components of Riesling while emphasizing the grape's extraordinary fruit aromas — floral, citrus, stone fruit, and petrol notes that are unique in the white wine world — allowing every expression from bone-dry to late-harvest to show its best.
