This Riedel Amadeo Decanter was specially designed and created to commemorate the Riedel Family's 250th Anniversary, and is truly a gorgeous work of art. Hand-made and mouth-blown by very skilled artisans, this piece is produced only by top-level master glass blowers in Europe, making each decanter unique; no two Amadeo decanters are exactly alike. This decanter features sensuous curves in a U-shape, with the pour spout graduating up to a delicate point. This piece is beautiful on any table, and introduces more oxygen to its contents, thus allowing the wine to open up and fully develop to its maximum potential. It measures 15 inches high and is designed to decant a standard-size bottle.

Why Should I Use a Decanter? How Will Decanting Enhance My Wine Experience?
There are two reasons for why we decant wines:
1) Decant older wines to separate if from its sediment.
2) Decant younger wines to increase oxygenation, reveal more complexity, and open up aromas and flavours.
• To fully enjoy young wines (up to 10 years for both red and white) consider opening them 8 - 12 hours prior to consumption for oxidization or decant the wine as this shortens the aeration process.
• The main preserving element in wine is carbon dioxide which becomes part of the wine during the first (alcoholic) fermentation.
• Decanting diminishes the amount of carbon dioxide and "matures" the wine, allowing the bouquet to develop faster.
• On the pallet, decanted wine expresses higher levels of fruit in red wines and it tends to integrate and smooth out tannins.
• When decanting young wines, turn the bottle directly into the decanter and let it splash into the vessel to promote oxygenation.
• When decanting off the sediment of an old wine, slowly pour the wine into the decanter without allowing any sediment to leave the bottle.
Consider the following exercise:
Using identical glasses, decant half the bottle and serve the other half directly from the bottle. Notice the difference and draw your own conclusion!
"I prefer to decant wines, both young and old. It is a sign of respect for old wines and a sign of confidence in young wines.
Decanting old wines, just a few moments before they are served, helps to ensure that the wines' clarity and brilliance are not obscured by any deposit that may have developed over time. Decanting young wines several hours before they are served gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging."
