The Syrah/Shiraz/Tempranillo glass is perfect for balancing the gripping tannins and concentrated fruit typical of medium-bodied red wines. On the palate, it brings out the wine's silky, velvety structure and balanced flavours. The tannins melt into the fruit, appearing sweet rather than acerbic on the back palate.
This shape was developed between 1993-1995 following sensory workshops in major Syrah and Shiraz growing regions. It is the most versatile RIEDEL shape for red wines, including Tempranillo.
With a slightly tapered opening, the large bowl develops intense aromas and mouthfilling fruit. It offers a dignified structure and long finish on the palate.
Ideal for these grape varieties:
Syrah/Shiraz, Malbec, Carignan, Tannat, Petite Sirah, Grenache/Garnacha/Cannonau, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Tempranillo, Bobal, Mencia, Sangiovese, Aglianico, Barbera, Nero d'Avola, Teroldego, Lagrein, Bonarda, Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, St. Laurent, Touriga Nacional, Pinotage, Saperavi
And red wines from these regions:
Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Toro, Priorat, Montsant, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Ventoux, Hermitage, Crozes Hermitage, Cornas, Saint-Joseph, Côte Rôtie, Cahors, Côtes du Roussillon, Madiran, Valpolicella, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

Why Shape Matters
- Stemware consists of three parts: the bowl, stem and base.
- The height of the stem and the width of the base are part of the glass design (known as the architecture).
- Grape varietal specific stemware features finely-tuned glass bowls consisting of three variables: shape, size and rim diameter.
- Grape varietal specific stemware has to translate the "message" of wine to the human senses.
There are 4 Sensations in Wine
- Bouquet: Grape varietal specific stemware is responsible for delivering the quality and intensity of the wine’s aroma.
- Texture: Grape varietal specific stemware highlights the exciting and diverse styles of "mouthfeel" in wine (watery, creamy, silky, velvety).
- Taste: Grape varietal specific stemware creates a balanced interaction between the fruit, minerality, acidity and bitter components of a wine.
- Flavor: Grape varietal specific stemware offers a pleasant, seamless, harmonious, and long lasting aftertaste.
