Riedel White Wine Glass Superleggero - Riesling
The thinnest machine-made glass from Riedel
Grape variety specific wine glass
Scratch and break resistant
Lasting clarity
The Riesling glass is perfect for balancing the high acidity and residual sugar of fruity white wines. This mould is the most versatile white wine glass in the Riedel-range, but also works well for some red wines, such as Zinfandel. It helps to balance the fresh characters and high mineral components and highlights the wonderful fruit aromas.
To me, Riesling is one of the most demanding white wines when it comes to glassware, because its bright acidity and delicate aromas deserve a glass that doesn't disturb them but enhances them. Riedel really understood that with this product: the slender bowl keeps the crisp-acid structure balanced and the extremely thin rim lets you taste the wine as the winemaker intended. Superleggero means "superlight" and you notice it as soon as you pick up this piece, because it almost feels like you're holding nothing at all. That's not a gimmick but a deliberate choice that makes the drinking experience pure and uninterrupted. For someone like me who seriously enjoys Riesling, Grüner Veltliner or other aromatic white wines, this is simply the right tool.

FAQ
Can I wash this wine glass in the dishwasher?
Hand washing is the best choice for this glass. The Riedel Superleggero-glas has an extremely thin wall and drinking rim — that's what makes it so special, but also vulnerable to the heat and mechanical stress of a dishwasher. Wash the glass with warm water and a mild dish soap, rinse thoroughly and dry carefully with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Is this glass also suitable for white wines other than Riesling?
Yes, certainly. The slim bowl of this glass is specially designed for Riesling, but it works just as well for other fresh, aromatic white wines. Think Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Gris or Mosel-style wines — wines with lively acidity, minerality and pronounced aromas. The bowl shape brings those characteristics nicely into balance.
How many glasses are included in the packaging?
The package contains 1 Riedel Riesling Wijnglas Superleggero. If you want multiple glasses, simply order the desired quantity. The glass has a capacity of 400 ml.
What makes the Superleggero glass different from a regular wine glass?
The main difference is weight and wall thickness. Superleggero literally means 'superlight' — the glass is machine-blown with an exceptionally thin wall and drinking rim. That thin rim ensures the wine reaches your taste buds as directly as possible, without interference from a thick glass edge. The result is a pure, unfiltered taste experience that you don't perceive as strongly with a standard wine glass.
How should I store this glass to keep it in good condition for a long time?
Store the glass upright or hang it upside down in a glass rack so the drinking rim doesn't bear pressure. Stacking or storing with heavy objects on top is not recommended due to the thin wall. When wiping, always use a soft, lint-free cloth and hold the glass by the bowl — not just the stem — for optimal balance while drying. Riedel recommends hand washing for this glass.

Already owning the Veloce champagne and chardonnay glasses these were tbe next logical addition to our collection. They're great with riesling, vino verdhe and even sparkling wine and cider.
Great ordering process and delivery as always.
Insanely fast delivery. I ordered on Sunday at lunch and got the package Monday evening in Brussels. The glasses came packaged in an additional box with carton and none of them were broken.
Hele elegante glazen. Superdun en lichtgewicht. Ook een heel fijn steeltje! Zeker niet goedkoop maar wel zo’n beetje het beste wat er valt te verkrijgen.
