The 14.875-oz. Riedel Tyrol Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect glass for crisp white wines.

The glass stands 7.375 inches tall. Dishwasher-safe.

Tyrol is ideal for casual elegant in-home dining. The low height allows the glass to be enjoyed daily because of easy dishwashing. Tyrol is executed in lead crystal which provides the solid base with never-ending sparkle and great stability.

The name Tyrol commemorates Riedel's new start 50 years ago in Austria in the federal state of Tyrol.
