Whimsical in design yet brilliant in function, the Riedel Escargot Decanter combines artistry with innovation. Created in 2011, this handmade crystal decanter draws its name and inspiration from its snail-like shape, offering both a visual conversation piece and a powerful aeration tool.

Its signature black accent—a graceful stripe of black crystal swirled into the clear glass—adds a modern twist to its curvaceous silhouette. But the Escargot is more than just a showpiece: its unique form enables double decanting, a clever method that actively aerates the wine while you pour. As the decanter tips, an internal air vacuum gently bubbles oxygen through the wine, enhancing aroma, depth, and complexity.

Tasting Notes

Designed to elevate youthful wines in need of coaxing, the Escargot delivers a dramatic transformation in the glass:

Aroma: Intensifies expressive fruit, floral, and spice notes.
Palate: Softens bold tannins, integrates acidity, and rounds out texture.
Finish: Longer, smoother, and more cohesive—especially in full-bodied reds.

You'll notice brighter fruit, enhanced structure, and an elegant evolution after just a few minutes in this decanter.

Serving Suggestions

Best For: Young red wines (Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah/Shiraz, Malbec, Zinfandel), bold whites (white Burgundy, Viognier), or natural wines that benefit from extra air.

How to Use:

Decant your wine into the Escargot just before serving.
Gently swirl to activate the aeration effect and pour slowly to create the signature bubbling gurgle—both a sign and sound of oxygenation at work.
