The Riesling grape variety produces some of the finest white wines, in which high acidity is balanced with residual sugar.
The wine also ages exceptionally well, with its color changing slightly to give the typical hue of an aged Riesling. In search of the shape that would best match this new style, Stuart Pigott, a British wine journalist specializing in Riesling, put together a tasting of the finest 1990 vintages from Germany, France and Austria. The wines were presented exclusively in this glass, which henceforth also goes under the name of the Sommeliers Riesling Grand Cru.
