A great glass for young Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and other racy aromatics. Also terrific for young Chablis, as well as lighter-bodied reds. If you are familiar with the popular Riedel Riesling/Sangiovese glass, this would be your closest match. We also use this glass for Sherries, some sparkling wines and spirits. It can work perfectly as a general glass for both whites and reds.

Six Pack. A great glass for young Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and other racy aromatics. Also good for young Chablis, as well as lighter-bodied reds. If you are familiar with the popular Riedel Riesling/Sangiovese glass, this would be your closest match. We also use this glass for Sherries, some sparkling wine and spirits—when Melanie Tesseron of Cognac Tesseron was in Australia this was the glass we used at the tastings. Melanie was totally won over both with the glass and its suitability for her Cognacs. It can work perfectly well as a general glass for both whites and reds.

This glass is ideal for full-bodied, powerful and/or developed wines, with its shape allowing the wine’s depth and intensity to shine through while still accentuating its underlying complexity and finesse. It can work for pretty much all Italian wines (although older Nebbiolo is often better in the ‘Burgundy’ glass), as well as all mature whites and reds from anywhere else. Mature Chablis, Riesling, Chianti, Beaujolais and pretty much any Australian wine, young or old, are good candidates. Also terrific for great grower Champagne. In short, as the name suggests, a brilliant all-rounder.

We can now offer Zalto’s first new glass in over a decade. At 195 millimetres tall and 113 millimetres wide, ‘Balance’ is slightly smaller than the Bordeaux and Burgundy glasses, while the signature Zalto angle is even more pronounced.

The idea behind ‘Balance’ was to design a glass that would bring out the best in new-wave artisanal/low-intervention wines that emphasise texture and structure as much as fruit. Michael Hinterleitner, whose family owns Zalto, explains, “We have been testing different prototypes for two years to create a glass that harmonises certain aspects of wines not often found in conventional winemaking.” 

So, after two years of intensive tastings and discussions with winegrowers and sommeliers, ‘Balance’ was born. Zalto recommends the glass for deep, complex whites–Chardonnay and full-bodied Riesling, for example–to fully show their depth and subtlety while harmonising aromas and flavours without concentrating one element. 

The latest Zalto glass provides the ideal space for wines to fully develop their depth and subtlety while harmonising aromas and flavours with great precision. Zalto also recommends the glass for skin-macerated whites, and reds made with high proportions of bunches.

Two Pack. Another stunning glass. This shape showcases the elegance and finesse of sweet wines perfectly. Its shape is designed to balance the acidity, power and sweetness of great sweet wines (although the ‘White Wine’ glass also does a good job with such wines). Works with Sauternes, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, Eiswein, Port and Madeira.

Fine glassware is not just for wine, and this glass perfectly illustrates how much a good glass can improve a cold beer! The thin crystal and tapered shape allow for a stable head and focused aromatics. Works well with any beer.

This was designed for fine, elegant spirits like aquavit, eau de vie and the like. The narrow, tapered shape of this glass captures the subtle bouquet and enhances floral, fruity and delicate flavour profiles.

Six Pack. The Zalto Coupes are some of our favourite glasses. So light and thin, they make wonderful glasses for neat spirits, mixed drinks, water and soft drinks.
