Decanter Mosel Machine Made
The Riedel Restaurant Mosel Decanter (1416/03) is Riedel's versatile, fuss-free decanting solution for professional service. At 1320ml with a slim 108mm diameter designed to fit most fridge doors, the Mosel combines practical storage with elegant presentation. The optic design pressed into the crystal adds a visual signature and structural interest without complicating the clean lines that make the decanter easy to handle and pour from.
Designed for wines of any age, style, or colour, the Mosel is a genuinely all-purpose restaurant decanter: suitable for gentle decanting of older vintages that need careful handling, and for vigorous aeration of younger tannic reds. Its slim profile means a pre-decanted bottle can go straight into the fridge for white or rose service. Machine-made in lead-free crystal, certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles, sold in sets of 6.
Key features:
- Slim fridge-door profile: At 108mm diameter, the Mosel fits most standard fridge door shelves, making it practical for white wine, rose, and Champagne service where pre-decanting and chilling are both required
- Optic design crystal: Riedel's signature optic faceting pressed into the body adds visual interest and light refraction without compromising practical clean lines
- 1320ml total, single bottle working capacity: Designed to hold one standard 750ml bottle with 570ml of functional headspace for aeration
- Suitable for all wines: The gentle decanting action and neutral form make the Mosel appropriate for wines of any age, style, or colour
- 1,500-cycle dishwasher certification: EN 12875-1/2 certified for sustained commercial service
- Set of 6, trade-only: Restaurant-format case quantity
What Restaurant Professionals Ask About This Product
Can this decanter go in the fridge after decanting?
Yes, and this is one of the Mosel's key practical advantages. The 108mm slim profile fits most standard fridge door shelves, making it the right choice for white wine, rose, and Champagne service where you want to pre-decant and chill. Most standard Burgundy or wide-format decanters will not fit in a fridge door. The Mosel will.
Is the Mosel suitable for older vintage wines?
Yes. The gentle decanting action of the slim profile makes it appropriate for older, more delicate wines where vigorous aeration would strip the bouquet. The narrow neck allows a controlled pour without agitating the wine. For younger tannic reds where maximum aeration is the priority, a wider-shouldered decanter aerates faster, but the Mosel handles the full style range serviceably.
What is the actual working capacity?
The total capacity is 1320ml, but the decanter is designed to hold one standard 750ml bottle, which brings the liquid to approximately the widest point of the body. The remaining 570ml is functional headspace for breathing and swirling. Do not fill to 1320ml in service.
How many dishwasher cycles is this rated for?
EN 12875-1/2 certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles, corresponding to 10+ years of normal restaurant service life.
The Versatile Decanter: One Shape for the Full Range
The question of which decanter to use is often presented as a binary choice between a wide-shouldered aerating decanter for young tannic reds and a narrow gentle-pour vessel for older vintages. In practice, most restaurant operations need a decanter that handles the full range with minimum fuss, and the Mosel is designed for exactly that.
The slim profile solves two problems simultaneously. It provides the controlled, gentle pour that older wine requires without the risk of over-aerating a fragile Burgundy or Barolo. And it fits in the fridge, which opens up decanting as a practical service option for white wines, Champagne, and rose.
The optic design is not merely decorative. The light refraction through the faceted crystal makes the wine visible from multiple angles and adds the visual interest at the table that communicates considered service without requiring explanation. For a restaurant with one decanter shape on the list, the Mosel is the right choice.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Dishwasher Use: EN 12875-1/2 certified for 1,500 cycles. Position the decanter so the neck faces down at an angle that allows water to enter and drain freely. For wine sediment, rinse with warm water before loading. For persistent staining, use decanter cleaning beads with warm water before the dishwasher cycle.
Fridge Storage: The 108mm diameter fits most standard fridge door shelves. For pre-decanted white wine or Champagne, seal the neck loosely with cling film to allow minimal continued breathing while preventing odour absorption.
Pouring: Pour from the hip of the body rather than tilting the neck sharply. For older wines with sediment, decant over a light source to see when sediment approaches the neck.
Breakage Planning: Decanters in regular commercial service typically see 10-15% annual breakage. The Mosel's relatively narrow base requires careful handling and secure storage.
