Riedel designed this glass primarily for Riesling across its full range of styles - dry, off-dry, Spätlese, Smaragd, and late harvest - as well as Gruner Veltliner, Alsace Grand Cru whites, Scheurebe, Welschriesling, Rivaner, and other aromatic, high-acid white wines. Beyond white wine, Riedel also recommends it for rosé styles including Cotes de Provence and Cotes du Rhone Rosé, and for lighter reds including Zinfandel, Primitivo, Dolcetto, Dornfelder, Bardolino, and Beaujolais Nouveau. See the full wine list on this page. For fuller-bodied white wines such as oaked Chardonnay, the Veritas Chardonnay glass would be more appropriate.

This glass is available in sets of 2 or 4. Please select your preferred pack size from the variants on this page. Because Veritas is machine-blown, every glass is produced to identical specifications, so you can add to your set at any time without concern about variation between pieces.

The common thread is freshness and fruit-forward character rather than weight and tannin. Riesling is high in acidity with pronounced primary fruit aromatics; Zinfandel and Primitivo, whilst red wines, are relatively high in acidity and fruit-driven compared to more structured varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon. Riedel's position is that this bowl shape handles both by emphasising fresh fruit character and mineral components whilst managing acidity at the finish. It is an unusual pairing on paper, but the underlying wine structure it is designed to serve is consistent across both.

Yes - Riedel's recommended list for this glass includes Riesling across the full sweetness spectrum, from dry Alsace Grand Cru and Riesling Smaragd through to Spätlese and late harvest styles. The design objective of balancing acidity against fruit and sweetness is relevant at every point on that spectrum, and the bowl shape serves the wine's acidity management regardless of residual sugar level.

Yes - Riedel confirms the Veritas collection is fully dishwasher safe. Use a gentle cycle at no more than 55°C, ensure glasses are well spaced so they cannot knock against each other, and avoid heavily abrasive or lemon-scented detergents, which can cloud crystal over time. Remove promptly at the end of the cycle. Handwashing will maintain crystal clarity for longer, but machine washing is entirely practical for everyday use.

The Veritas Riesling/Zinfandel glass is designed for high-acid, aromatic white wines where freshness and mineral character are the priority. The Veritas Chardonnay glass has a larger, more open bowl suited to fuller-bodied whites where texture, oak integration, and richer fruit character are the focus. If your white wine drinking is primarily Riesling, Gruner Veltliner, or lighter aromatic styles, this glass is the right choice. If it is predominantly oaked Chardonnay, white Burgundy, or similarly rich whites, the Chardonnay glass would serve you better.
