Riedel announces the Ayam, which takes its name from the world's most exclusive and coveted breed of hen, indigenous to Indonesia. The elegant and impressive appearance of the Ayam inspired Maximilian J. Riedel, 11th generation CEO and president of Riedel Crystal, to create this groundbreaking and functional design. This impressive decanter marries functionality with exceptional aesthetic appeal.

The Ayam is a decanter with a duel decanter function, meaning the wine is aerated both when it is poured into and from the decanter, significantly reducing the time needed to "open up" the wine. The gurgling sound produced when wine poured into and from the decanter illustrates the intensity of the oxygenization process. However, the real innovation lies in the design of the Ayam, which was created not only to stand on the table, but also to hang from it! Hand-crafted and mouth-blown in the company's glassworks in Kufstein, Austria, this crystal glass decanter is ideal for younger red and white wines.

Varietal Specific Designs

"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." -Michel Bettane

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.

"I prefer to decant wines, both young and old. It is a sign of respect for old wines and a sign of confidence in young wines. Decanting old wines, just a few moments before they are served, helps to ensure that the wines' clarity and brilliance are not obscured by any deposit that may have developed over time. Decanting young wines several hours before they are served gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging." - Georg Riedel
