What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Ravenscroft Invisibles Chardonnay glasses for their remarkable lightness and crystal clarity, noting how these features elevate the visual appreciation of the wine. The almost weightless feel significantly enhances the tasting experience, with enthusiasts reporting improved aroma and flavor presentation due to the specific bowl shape and thin rim. While the elegance is consistently lauded, users acknowledge the inherent fragility associated with the ultra-thin design, requiring careful handling and washing. Despite this necessary precaution, the consensus is that the superior wine enjoyment justifies the extra care. Many view this set of four as a worthwhile investment in luxury and refined personal indulgence.
Know before you buy
The glass features a wide bowl to diffuse intense oak and alcohol aromas, while the tall chimney helps buffer the sharper, bitter notes often found in complex Chardonnays. This shape ensures the wine's dense fruit profile remains the focus.
While the lead-free crystal is durable, we recommend hand-washing these delicate, hand-blown glasses to prevent breakage or clouding. Their lightweight construction makes them more susceptible to damage in a dishwasher cycle.
The ultra-thin crystal is designed to minimize the physical barrier between you and the wine. By reducing the weight and thickness of the rim, the glass allows for a more seamless flow of wine onto the palate, making the vessel feel almost non-existent.
The long stem serves two purposes: it provides an elegant aesthetic and, more importantly, keeps your hand away from the bowl. This prevents your body heat from warming the wine, ensuring your Chardonnay stays at its optimal serving temperature.
Yes, these glasses are excellent for any full-bodied white wine that benefits from aeration, such as Viognier or an oaked Sauvignon Blanc. The design is specifically calibrated to soften high-alcohol attributes and highlight complex aromatics.
