Riedel White Wine Glass Fatto A Mano Performance - Riesling - Black Stem - 623 ml

Riedel Fatto A Mano Performance Riesling Glass - because a good wine deserves a good glass.

You open a bottle of Riesling. That beautiful, fresh Mosel with its delicate floral aromas, ripe citrus notes, and that characteristic mineral edge. And then... you pour it into an average wine glass. What a waste. A wine like this deserves a stage, not an average backdrop. That is exactly why the Riedel Fatto A Mano Performance Riesling Glass exists - and why this glass changes everything about how you taste, smell, and experience white wine.

This is not a glass you buy because it looks nice on the shelf. This is a glass you buy because you know: every sip will be better with this.

Why This Glass Makes a Difference

• Designed for Riesling, and nothing else - The specific bowl shape balances the high acidity and residual sugar of fruity white wines, allowing you to taste every nuance the winemaker intended.
• Larger shape, richer aromatics - The renewed, spacious bowl of 623 ml increases the surface area of the wine and thus enhances the aromatic experience - you literally smell more.
• Hand-finished Austrian crystal glass - Each glass is hand-finished in Austria. You feel it in the weight (only 140 grams), see it in the thin rim, and taste it in the enjoyment.
• That black stem - a statement - The handmade black crystal stem is not just a design choice. It gives the glass character, makes it recognizable at the table, and adds that wink that a beautiful dining moment deserves.
• Surprisingly dishwasher safe - Crystal glass of this level, simply in the dishwasher? Yes. Riedel Performance is designed to handle daily life without compromising on quality.

The Science Behind Enjoyment

Riedel has been working with winemakers, sommeliers, and scientists for decades to develop glass shapes that literally make wine taste better. The Performance series was re-evaluated in 2018 - and the Riesling glass is one of the most beautiful outcomes. The bowl shape is an evolution of Riedel's most versatile white wine glass, now with a larger opening and refined proportions.

What that means in practice? The wine touches your palate in exactly the right place. The acidity feels livelier but not aggressive. The freshness and mineral components come into their own, and the fruity notes - apricot, white peach, lime zest - come forward just as they should. This is not marketing talk: this is sensory ergonomics, and you notice it with the first sip.

Fatto A Mano - by hand, with care

"Fatto A Mano" literally means: handmade. And that is exactly what makes this glass special. In a world of automated production, Riedel chooses craftsmanship for this collection. The black stem - the most striking feature - is applied by hand to the clear crystal bowl. Each stem is therefore unique, each glass a small work of art.

The combination of transparent bowl and black stem is not only visually surprising but also functionally thoughtful: you see the color of your wine, the way the light breaks in it, the thin tears that slowly run down the glass. Dining becomes an experience for all the senses - and that is exactly what a beautiful dining moment deserves.

With a height of 250 mm and a diameter of 92 mm, this glass fits comfortably in the hand without feeling heavy. Light, elegant, sturdy - that is the balance Riedel has found.

Who Is This Glass For?

For you, if you believe that enjoying wine is more than just drinking. For you, if you want to do justice to a special bottle of Riesling, Pinot Gris, or another fruity white wine. For you, if you love a beautifully set table without it needing to be stiff or formal.

But also: for you as a gift giver who wants to make a real impression. This glass is a gift with taste - literally and figuratively.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Pour your Riesling at about 10-12 degrees Celsius and fill the glass only a third. This way, the wine has room to "breathe" in the bowl, and you get the most out of the aromatic experience this glass offers you. An Alsace Riesling, a German Spätlese, or a dry Austrian Riesling - they all come into their own in this glass.
