Know before you buy
The geometric, pebble-inspired design increases the surface area of the wine as it is poured and held within the decanter. This design encourages more oxygen exposure compared to a standard carafe, which helps to open up the aromas and soften the tannins of younger wines.
No, the Zieher Pebble Decanter is crafted from lead-free glass. This ensures the decanter is safe for regular use and maintains a clear, brilliant aesthetic without the use of heavy metals.
This decanter is ideal for full-bodied red wines that benefit from significant aeration, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, or Bordeaux blends. It is also an effective tool for younger wines that need time to breathe before serving.
Due to the geometric shape, we recommend hand-washing with warm water and a mild detergent. Using a decanter cleaning brush or specialized cleaning beads can help reach the interior contours to ensure a thorough clean without scratching the glass.
While the shape is unconventional, the decanter is balanced for a controlled pour. We recommend holding the base firmly and pouring slowly to ensure a steady stream into your wine glasses.
