Riedel Sommeliers Black Tie Wine Decanter

This elegant new Sommeliers Black Tie wine decanter from Riedel is designed to pair with the Riedel Sommeliers Black Tie stemware, but can easily stand alone as your most favored decanter. Its graceful lines flow in a way that is reminiscent of a beautiful brass instrument. Hand-made and mouth-blown, this lead crystal decanter features a beautiful black accent line blown seamlessly into the body of the vessel, that runs the entire perimeter of this decanter. Delight your guests and serve them a lovely red wine in this visual masterpiece.

The Black Tie Decanter is ‘free blown’, meaning the glass blower forms it by hand without the aid of a mold. A rod of black crystal (colored by manganese oxide) is introduced while the glass is molten. The length of the hollow glass piece is determined by the arm span of the glass blower. Only an extremely talented glassblower can successfully sculpt these creations, and each decanter is slightly different—one of a kind. Classic, curved, and arguably crucial to wine enjoyment, Riedel’s Black Tie decanter makes decanting a joy from poured in to pour out.
