A luxury sculptural decanter combining traditional Austrian handmade crystal with the sophisticated Black Tie aesthetic. The asymmetrical form, integrated handle and elegant black crystal stripe give the Touch an unmistakably contemporary presence while retaining the practical purpose of enhancing wine through decanting.

The handmade decanter distinguishes by an elegant and complex design. RIEDEL whole-heartedly believes all wines - young and old, red, white or sparkling - can be enhanced by decanting. RIEDEL tip: use bottle cleaners to remove stains inside the decanter.

Features
Signature Silhouette: The Touch features an asymmetrical bulb-shaped base with a ridge that rises into an elegantly angled neck, creating a distinctive silhouette that appears to defy gravity.
Integrated Handle: The raised ridge is designed to function as a natural handle, making the decanter comfortable to hold and pour despite its sculptural form.
Black Tie Detail: A refined black crystal stripe extends from the base through the neck. The stripe is created by introducing a rod of black crystal into the molten glass before the decanter is formed, making it an integral part of the handmade design.
Handmade Craftsmanship: Mouth-blown and formed by hand without the use of moulds, each Touch decanter has individual characteristics that reflect traditional glassmaking craftsmanship.

Care Instruction
Cleaning: Handwash only.
Bottle Cleaner: Riedel's current product page advises against bottle cleaners for this model, while some older retailer documentation recommends them. For this delicate sculptural design, gentle handwashing is the safer care approach.

Suitable for: Red wine, white wine and sparkling wine, including young wines that benefit from aeration and mature wines that require careful decanting before service.
