Riedel Eve Decanter

Riedel Eve Decanter

Wine Decanter | Clear Crystal Glass | Handmade | Mouth-Blown | 25.36 oz Capacity | Riedel Decanter Collection

Process & Profile

The Riedel Eve Decanter is a dramatic handmade crystal wine decanter created as a tribute to Eva Riedel, matriarch of the Riedel family. Known for its sculptural snake-like silhouette, Eve is one of Riedel’s most iconic modern glass designs, combining functional wine aeration with a striking display-piece presentation.

Each Riedel Eve Decanter is individually mouth-blown by skilled glassblowers in Riedel’s European workshops. Because it is handmade, slight variations, small bubbles, surface differences, and subtle size tolerances are part of the character of the piece. The clear crystal glass construction highlights the color and movement of wine as it travels through the decanter’s long, curved form.

Designed for wine lovers, collectors, and luxury gifting, the Eve Decanter gives red wine room to breathe while adding visual impact to the table, bar cart, or cellar display. It is especially well suited for Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux blends, Syrah, Merlot, Barolo, Brunello, and other full-bodied wines that benefit from decanting.

How to Use

Pour wine slowly into the Riedel Eve Decanter and allow it to travel through the curved crystal form before resting in the base. Let younger, full-bodied red wines breathe before serving to soften tannins and open aromas. For older wines, decant carefully to help separate sediment while minimizing overexposure to air.

After use, rinse the decanter with warm water and allow it to dry completely. Because of the unique shape, avoid using Riedel Bottle Cleaner beads, as they may become lodged inside the decanter. Handle carefully and store in a safe place where the long sculptural form is protected.
