Product Description
The delicate outline of Riedel's stunning Pomerol Wine Decanter inspires comparison to the timeless pottery of ancient Greece. The prominent spout of the decanter is offset by the cascading handle and the spherical center globe balances gently on the delicately stemmed base. A true work of art. Like all of Riedel's finest glassware and decanters, it's entirely hand made of 24% lead crystal. The Riedel Pomerol Wine Decanter will let you serve all your wines as if they were nectar of the Gods. Perfectly designed to fit our small wine decanter glass stopper. Size: 10-1/4"H, 31-3/4 oz.

Crafted by the well-known Austrian wineglass maker, Riedel, the Pomerol decanter blends functionality with beauty. A strikingly modern design showcases the unique style of contemporary decanters, while still featuring the classical elegance and craftsmanship that Riedel has represented for over 300 years. Standing 10-1/4 inches high, the decanter rests on a small stem and prominent base. A ballooning bowl contrasts with the sharp angle of the spout and the dramatic handle that protrudes from the slender neck. The decanter holds 30-3/8 ounces, ideal for a 750-milliliter bottle of wine. Most wine connoisseurs recommend decanting aged red wines directly before serving in order to prevent any sediment from obscuring the wine's clarity and brilliance. Riedel also suggests decanting young wines several hours before serving to gives them a chance to fully bloom. Constructed from hand made, mouth blown, full-lead crystal, the Pomerol decanter should be washed by hand. --Lea Werbel
