New Zealand wine region honoured with its own Riedel glass

A world leading glassware giant has honoured New Zealand wine this week, with the launch of a Central Otago Pinot Noir glass. Riedel Crystal, a 300-year-old leader in varietal-specific glassware, created the “perfect glass” to enjoy Central Otago Pinot Noir after learning of the region’s reputation. Rudi Bauer, Central Otago Winegrowers Association spokesperson, said 10th generation family member Georg J. Riedel ran a sensory workshop in the region in 2013 to discover the perfect glass for Central Otago Pinot Noir.
