Sophienwald Phoenix Bordeaux Glass (Single)
Sophienwald have been producing their delicate, hand-made, mouth blown glasses since 2014, at the former site of the Stölzle family glassworks in Alt-Nagelberg. Here glass of world fame was produced from 1725 onwards and from 1847 onwards under the management of the Stölzle family until 2006. In their family "Kugler" there has been a connection to glassmaking for a long time - the "Kugler" was a qualified hollow glass fine grinder. Ernest Kugler has conducted and documented extensive research on former glassworks in the Gföhlerwald.
Their work has achieve outstanding recognition and customer satisfaction both national and internationally from the highest professional circles. The glasses are designed to meet the highest demands of the art of sommelier whilst at the same time combining all the advantages to meet the needs of the modern household. Their glasses are fine and delicate with a contemporary design to fit the modern ambience.
With a unique surface and perfectly angled sides that only hand-blown crystal glass can offer, the bowls of the Sophienwald glasses literally grip the aroma molecules and guide them towards your nose. This provides a full flavour spectrum of the wine.
The slightly higher goblet of the Sophienwald Phoenix Bordeaux Glass provides more distance between wine and nose, allowing the nose deeper into the glass without feeling too much evaporation of the alcohol. The smaller opening as compared to the Burgundy glass allows less air contact, thus keeping the aromas, acidity and tannins from developing quickly. As a result, the aroma is stronger, and the slightly smaller opening brings the wine deeper into the palate for a more balanced taste experience. Ideal for medium-bodied wines, whites and reds!
