Vinum // Viognier + Chardonnay // Set of 2

Riedel created the Vinum series in 1986 with specific designs that accentuated the characteristics of a grape varietal. Vinum was not developed on a drawing board, but in tasting workshops based on the performance commands the shape to deliver superior performance. Vinum is executed in lead-free crystal, which is machine blown in Bavaria, Germany to meet the same quality and clarity as of Riedel's glassware.

The Viognier and Chardonnay glass is perfect for allowing white wines to express their freshness, spiciness, and mineral characters. This glass is designed so the Viognier variety's low acidity is delivered in a way that sets off the alcohol and rich flavors of the wine. The shape highlights its velvety, supple texture, emphasizing the fruit and ensuring a long, balanced finish.
