New World Pinot Noir Glasses
The Riedel Restaurant New World Pinot Noir Glass (0447/07) was developed in collaboration with winemakers in Oregon, one of the world's leading New World Pinot Noir regions, through a series of sensory workshops designed to establish the bowl shape that best presents the variety's distinctive character. The result is the tulip shape with a slightly flared lip that is now one of the most widely used Pinot Noir glass formats in the world.
At 850ml with a 106mm diameter and the characteristic flared lip, the bowl is designed to support the balance of fragility and fresh compact fruit that defines New World Pinot Noir. The tulip shape and slightly flared lip work together to highlight the irresistible sweetness that great Pinot Noir carries while perfectly balancing the acidity and minimising the perception of alcohol. Machine-made in lead-free crystal, certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles, sold in sets of 12.
Key features:
- Tulip shape with slightly flared lip: The slight flare at the rim directs wine to the tip and front of the palate on entry, where sweetness and fresh fruit register first
- Developed in workshops with Oregon producers: Bowl shape validated through hands-on sensory workshops with winemakers in the Willamette Valley
- 850ml bowl supports fragile compact fruit: Generous volume gives Pinot Noir's delicate aromatic profile the space it needs to develop and reach the nose fully
- Highlights sweetness and balances acidity: The flared lip delivery presents the wine's fruit sweetness first, framing the acidity as freshness rather than sharpness
- Minimises alcohol perception: Bowl geometry and delivery angle calibrated to present the wine's complexity before its alcohol
- Covers: New World Pinot Noir, Burgundy, Gamay, Spatburgunder, lighter Nebbiolo
- 1,500-cycle dishwasher certification: EN 12875-1/2 certified
- Set of 12, trade-only: Restaurant-format case quantity
What Restaurant Professionals Ask About This Product
What is the flared lip and how does it affect the wine?
The slightly flared lip is a subtle outward curve at the top of the tulip bowl. When you drink from a glass with a flared rim, the wine first contacts the very tip and front edge of the tongue rather than the middle or back. The tip and front edge is where sweetness sensitivity is highest. By directing the wine there first, the flared lip presents Pinot Noir's cherry fruit sweetness as the first palate impression, which frames the acidity that follows as freshness and makes the wine feel more generous and balanced.
Is this glass also appropriate for Old World Burgundy?
Yes. The tulip shape and flared lip that work for New World Pinot Noir work equally well for Burgundy. New World Pinot tends to be more fruit-forward and immediately accessible; Old World Burgundy tends to be more restrained in fruit, higher in earth and mineral character, and more complex in its secondary aromatics. Both benefit from a large bowl and a flared lip that presents the fruit before the acidity.
How does this compare to the Extreme Pinot Noir glass (0454/07)?
The Restaurant New World Pinot Noir (0447/07) is 850ml with a tulip bowl and flared lip, part of the benchmark Restaurant varietal-specific range. The Extreme Pinot Noir (0454/07) is 770ml with the more pronounced diamond geometry of the Extreme collection. Both are valid Pinot Noir glasses; the choice depends on whether the diamond aesthetic of the Extreme collection suits the operation.
How many dishwasher cycles will this glass survive?
EN 12875-1/2 certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles, corresponding to 10+ years of normal restaurant service life.
New World Pinot Noir: A Glass Shaped in Oregon
The story of how the New World Pinot Noir glass was developed is the story of how Riedel validates its shapes: not at a design desk but in the field, with the winemakers who know the wine best. The Willamette Valley workshops brought Oregon producers into direct conversation with the glass design process, and the tulip shape with its slightly flared lip is the product of that conversation.
The specific insight from those workshops — that Pinot Noir's irresistible sweetness is its defining appeal and that the glass should present it first — is the engineering brief that produced the flared lip. The flare is subtle enough to be invisible to a casual observer, but its effect on the palate delivery of the wine is perceptible from the first sip: the cherry fruit comes first, the acidity follows as freshness, and the wine presents as more generous and harmonious.
For operations with Pinot Noir as a key element of the wine list, this is the glass that was designed in collaboration with the people who make the wine. That provenance is worth communicating to guests paying serious prices for serious bottles.
