xOverview
The Riedel Ultra Decanter blends timeless glassmaking with thoughtful form. Its elongated neck guides sediments toward the base, while the wide, low body increases the wine’s exposure to air. This design can help the wine open up, revealing aromas and deeper flavors in the glass.

With a capacity of 43.38 ounces, it provides ample room for aeration without feeling crowded at the table. Washing by hand is recommended to keep the crystal sparkle over years of use.
