Bordeaux Glas 2er Set 11 202

Wine Description for Bordeaux 2-Piece Set 11 202 by Zalto

A great glass is not merely a vessel, but a precise translator. The Bordeaux glass by Zalto from the legendary Denk’Art series reduces the barrier between wine and connoisseur to an absolute minimum. It is a masterpiece of glassmaking craftsmanship from the Lower Austrian Waldviertel, distinguished by its almost weightless lightness and a fascinating, mathematical geometry. An indispensable tool for anyone who takes wine seriously.

Colour & Appearance

Gossamer-thin, mouth-blown crystal glass with a wall thickness of just around 0.5 millimetres. It is delicately structured, of perfect transparency and possesses a striking geometry based on the inclination angles of the earth. Despite its filigree appearance, it is remarkably robust and dishwasher-safe.

Nose

The shape of the bowl acts like a catalyst. Through the precise angles of 24, 48 and 72 degrees, optimal air circulation is created. It concentrates even the subtlest nuances and delivers the often dense, masculine aromas of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in a concentrated and extremely differentiated manner to the nose.

Palate

When drinking, the gossamer-thin glass wall seems to dissolve visually and tactilely. The wine flows directly and without distraction onto the tongue. This ensures a crystal-clear presentation of structure, tannin intensity and fruit complexity. The mouthfeel becomes noticeably finer and more elegant.

Food Pairing Recommendations

This glass demands great companions. It is the perfect partner for classic Bordeaux cuvées, a succulent grilled ribeye steak, braised lamb shoulder or mature Comté cheese. Thanks to its enormous versatility, however, it is by no means limited to Bordeaux – it ennobles any characterful, dense red wine.

Special Features

Developed in close collaboration with wine expert Hans Denk. Each glass is an individually mouth-blown, hand-inspected unique piece that combines the centuries-old tradition of the Waldviertel with modern, functional design.
