The cooperation began in 2017 with a specially created decanter and will continue with the Cornetto Rainbow in 2019. In many cultures, the colors of the rainbow represent tolerance, acceptance, diversity, hope and aspiration. These values are more important today than ever before. Therefore, Riedel is again using this stylistic element.
Riedel is particularly proud that each decanter will bear the original signature of Sir Elton John, which will make each of the decanters an exclusive, sought-after masterpiece. Limited edition of 99 worldwide.

The limited edition has a significantly larger capacity than the standard size. The production of the decanter is a highly complex and difficult process. It can only be achieved by a glassblower in Riedels factory in Kufstein. His signature can be found on the numbered certificate. Each piece of the edition is unique and a work of art made of crystal glass and mouth blown.


 

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
