Crisp clean and sophisticated - and we're not talking about the wine. The 24.375-oz. Riedel Vitis Montrachet is the ideal glass for crisp full-flavored white wines. This stunning glass is generously sized to allow the bouquet to fully develop and the shape directs the flow of wine onto the region of the tongue that perceives sweetness which accentuates the fruity flavor of the wine. With a long slender stem and generous bowl this glass is perfect for serving Chardonnay and Montrachet. This machine-made lead crystal glass stands 9.625 inches tall. Hand-washing is recommended.

Vitis stands tall. Riedel's highest machine-made lead crystal glass is the pinnacle of modern stemmed-glass technology featuring highly sophisticated grape variety specific bowls on a pulled stem. In Latin vitis means vine.
