RIEDEL CELEBRATES THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE

2013 is the Year of the Snake, the sixth sign of the Chinese Zodiac and the most enigmatic, intuitive, introspective and refined of the ancient signs.

In celebration, Riedel has assembled for the first time an exhibition of its stunning “Mamba” decanters, inspired by the serpentine form.

Through one of the largest Riedel glass workshops ever conducted by Riedel, Maximilian Riedel and Lanson winemakers determined the perfect glass for the re-release of Lanson Vintage Champagne.

This extensive tasting shows the dedication Riedel commits to ensuring when we say it is the right glass, we mean it!

This year, Riedel's presence at the Shows will be bigger and better than ever, with more to see, touch, taste and enjoy.

Earlier this year, Sydney’s innovative butchery, Victor Churchill, announced the arrival of a limited edition decanter designed by Riedel. “Victor” is a tribute to Victor Puharich, master butcher and the founder of Vic’s Premium Quality Meat. And in a witty twist, it is shaped like a pig’s tail, with a line of pink crystal defining its curly form.

The original clear, lyre-shaped Amadeo decanter ($599.95) was introduced in 2006 to commemorate Riedel’s 250^th anniversary, the name a nod to fellow Austrian, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose 250^th birthday was also celebrated that year. This hand blown, lead crystal decanter is shaped like a lyre and pours like a dream. Wine is simply decanted into the vessel’s wider opening and poured into the glass through its slender mouth. Effortless and pleasurable to use, the Amadeo decanter is a reminder that functional objects can be works of art.
