Provenance & Masters Behind the Bottle

Riedel has a storied history dating back to 1756, with 11 generations contributing to its reputation. Owned by the Riedel family, Maximilian Riedel, the current CEO, has pushed the boundaries of design and craftsmanship. Noteworthy in the industry for collaborating with global winemakers to produce varietal-specific stemware, the Riedels have carved a unique niche that places them in the pantheon of wine-related influencers.

Vineyard & Craftsmanship

Although not a vineyard, Riedel's craftsmanship shines in the precise engineering of each glass. The balance achieved in stemware allows for optimal aeration and aroma diffusion, amplifying the intrinsic qualities of different grape varietals. Limited-edition series and decanters further enhance the exclusivity and scarcity appeal for collectors and connoisseurs.

Aging & Investment Value

Investing in Riedel glassware is akin to securing a legacy asset. The durability and timelessness of their designs ensure that your experience with wines—be it Bordeaux, Burgundy, or a California cult classic—only appreciates over time. Owning a Riedel piece can indeed turn each sip into a memorable, evolving journey.
