Port vintages are declared individually by each producer, depending on the year.

After a relatively short time in oak the port is transferred to age in bottles, whose labels indicate the year of its harvest. Due to its high levels of concentration, residual sugars and alcohol, vintage port is able to preserve its freshness and fruit over many decades.

This glass helps to bring out the classic aromas of vintage port: blackcurrant, pepper, truffles and smoky notes. These aromas can sometimes be masked by the pungency of port's high alcoholic content, an effect that the small, slender shape of the glass succeeds in avoiding.

All the luscious, fresh red fruit is brought to the fore, with acidity and tannins blending together in sweet harmony in the mouth. A pleasantly lingering aftertaste rounds off the delightful experience of drinking a good vintage port from this fine tuned instrument.

Recommended for: Vintage Port.

Riedel, The Wine Glass Company

Michel Bettane:
 “It takes a great deal of efforts for a talented wine-maker to produce a good wine. These efforts can be ruined in no time if the wine is not served properly. The quality of the glass plays a crucial role here and Riedel produces the largest range of high quality glasses, specifically fine-tuned to fit the predominant wine varietals of the planet. Riedel makes it possible to fully appreciate all the nuances of aromas and tastes from the best wines of the world.“

Varietal Specific Designs

The Riedel glass designs are based on the exceptional characteristics of each grape variety, which in turn determines the shape, size and rim diameter of the bowl. The latest machine blown technology, in conjunction with the seamless pulled stem, offers a special design feature "architecture", which  creates an indent in the bottom of the bowl, reflecting the light and adding another dimension to the lively color of wine.
