Designed by 11th generation glassmaker Maximilian Riedel, this decanter was inspired by the graceful necks of swans. Wine is aerated as the liquid runs down the decanter’s long, slender neck, providing optimal breathing space for young and older vintages alike. As practical as it is beautiful, the distinctive shape also ensures superb balance and ease of pouring. The sparkling lead crystal, notable for its brilliant clarity, enhances the appearance of fine wines by showcasing their distinctive colours. Crafted entirely by hand, this decanter is made at Riedel’s family-owned glassworks in Austria.

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."
