Know before you buy
The bowl shape is engineered to highlight the fruit-forward profiles of these wines while balancing their characteristic high acidity and residual sugar. By directing the flow of wine to the appropriate parts of the palate, the glass helps emphasize the wine's aromatic complexity.
Yes, the Veritas collection is machine-made and dishwasher-safe. For the best results and to maintain the clarity of the crystal, we recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring the glasses are spaced properly to prevent contact with other items.
The Mosel Decanter is designed to aerate your wine, which helps 'open up' the aromas and soften the tannins in younger wines. Beyond its functional benefits, its optical crystal design serves as an elegant centerpiece for your table.
While these glasses are crafted from fine crystal, the machine-made process ensures a consistent thickness and structural integrity. They are designed to be comfortable and balanced in the hand, offering a refined feel without being overly fragile for regular use.
Absolutely. While the shape is optimized for the specific acidity and fruit profiles of Riesling and Zinfandel, the versatile design works well for many other light-to-medium-bodied white and red wines.
