Wine decanter ULTRA MAGNUM DECANTER 2 l, Riedel

Product detailed description

The Ultra Magnum's design pays homage to tradition with its curves and wide base. The size of this decanter is ideal for young wines, as it offers a large surface area to expose the wine to oxygen after decanting.

This decanter is designed for a Magnum wine bottle.

Christian Moueix's reflection essay on decantation:

"Personally, I prefer decanting for both young and more mature wines. In the case of mature wines, decanting is an expression of respect; in the case of young wines, it is an expression of trust. Decanting mature wines shortly before serving ensures that the colour and clarity are not impaired by sediments that have formed in the wine during storage. Decanting young wines a few hours before serving will give the wine the opportunity to develop its bouquet, to acquire a degree of maturity that it would otherwise only achieve with years of storage."
