A single stem of fine crystal glassware Machine blown crystal of unsurpassed thinness and lightness Combines the charm of a handmade glass with the consistent accuracy only a machine-made glass can achieve.
The Shiraz glass is perfect for balancing the gripping tannins and concentrated fruit typical of medium-bodied red wines. This shape was developed between 1993-1995 following sensory workshops in major Shiraz growing regions and has become the most versatile red wine shape in the RIEDEL range.
With a slightly tapered opening, the large bowl develops intense aromas and demonstrates mouth-filling fruit, dignified structure, and a long sweet finish on the palate. Machine-made and dishwasher safe.

GLASS CARE
Caring for your RIEDEL Crystal
- RIEDEL glasses are dishwasher safe. RIEDEL exclusively recommends MIELE
- To avoid stains: use soft water (low mineral content)
- To avoid scratches: Avoid glass contact with other glass or metal
- To remove stains: use white vinegar
- If available use a stemware rack
If washing by hand
- Wash the glass under warm water (use detergent and rinse the glass carefully)
- Glass polishing: Use two polishing cloths, never hold the glass by the base to polish the bowl
- Stem snap: Occurs through mishandling = torque or bend pressure at the stem
- Storage: Avoid glass storage in kitchen cabinets that have strong aromas that translate into glass
- Microfiber Polishing Cloth
- Wash at boiling temperature (to kill bacteria) with odorless soap
- Should be machine washed at min. 170 F/75 C
- Never use fabric softener when rinsing your microfiber polishing cloth (avoids grease film on surface)
