Riedel Wine Decanters

A beautiful yet functional decanter is a must-have for wine lovers. Decanting is known to allow wine to breathe by exposing it to oxygen, allowing for the full flavour to be enjoyed. Why not decant your favourite red wine into one of Riedel’s stunning wine decanters to discover a higher fruit content on the palate and take the edge off rough tannins. Any wine that benefits from ageing can be decanted, including white wine and champagne. Younger wines will offer a smoother taste when decanted, whereas more mature wines prefer a simpler decanter to avoid over-oxidation.

Shop the latest contemporary collection including the iconic Amadeo, or why not go for a show-stopper decanter such as the Pink Curly Decanter to get your guests talking. Love to share a bottle? Why not browse the Riedel mini decanter collection to enjoy your favourite wine on two separate occasions.

 

Riedel Decanter FAQ’s

 

How to clean a Riedel wine decanter?

Machine-made Riedel decanters can be put in the dishwasher, however handmade decanters should be cleaned by hand. Most decanters will only need to be rinsed with water and should not be hand cleaned with detergent as it can be difficult to remove. Once the wine has been rinsed out, if the design of the decanter allows, leave the decanter upside down on a tea towel to dry.

 

Are Riedel decanters dishwasher safe?

Yes, machine-blown Riedel decanters are dishwasher safe, but should be properly positioned in the dishwasher, away from larger items and knives to avoid damage and scratches. Whilst any modern dishwasher detergent can be used, it is recommended that a cool cycle is used when cleaning crystalware. For large or handmade decanters, it is recommended to wash by hand to avoid the risk of damage.

 

Are Riedel decanters crystal?

Yes, Riedel decanters are made from crystal, which derives from sand and water. Each glassware piece has microscopic pitting, which enhances the aroma and flavour of the wine. Riedel no longer sells lead crystal, so instead, borosilicate is used which is much more durable.
