The Riedel Macon Decanter, introduced in 2017, is a minimalist yet refined hand-made crystal piece designed for gentle decanting—ideal for both mature reds and youthful whites. Its clean lines and understated elegance reflect Riedel's "back to basics" philosophy, marrying form and function for modern wine enjoyment. 

Riedel Crystal, is presenting new forms that allow gentle decanting, making them perfect for vintage red wines, as well as young white wines. The decanters, hand-made in crystal glass and named after wine regions, have a modern yet classic design. 

Maximilian Riedel asserts that they are in keeping with the modern trend towards minimalism: Back to basics. With this new decanter, we are taking a step back and offering an alternative that we think reflects todays zeitgeist perfectly.

Features
Signature Silhouette: The Macon features a clean, rounded silhouette inspired by traditionally finished cognac and whisky bottles, reinterpreted by Maximilian J. Riedel as a practical wine decanter.
M Series Design: Introduced in 2017, the Macon belongs to Riedel's M Series, created around simplicity, functionality and a minimalist approach to wine service.
Gentle Decanting: The Macon is designed for gentle decanting, making it particularly suitable for mature red wines, young white wines, Champagne and orange wines. Its traditional form avoids the highly intricate shapes associated with vigorous double-decanting designs.
Single-Bottle Capacity: The decanter is designed to hold one standard 750ml bottle, providing sufficient space for the wine to breathe and develop while maintaining a compact and elegant presentation.
Handmade Craftsmanship: Each Macon is individually mouth-blown by master glassmakers. Small variations in dimensions, tiny bubbles and minor surface imperfections are natural characteristics of handmade crystal and make every piece unique.

Care Instruction
Cleaning: Handwash only.
Bottle Cleaner: Riedel recommends its Bottle Cleaner for removing stains or residue, although the current product specification lists bottle cleaners as not recommended. For the delicate handmade crystal, gentle handwashing remains the safest approach.

Suitable for: Mature red wines, young white wines, Champagne, orange wines and other wines that benefit from gentle decanting. Particularly suitable for collectors, elegant everyday wine service and formal dining.
