Riedel Mamba Decanter

Riedel Mamba Decanter

Wine Decanter | Handmade Crystal Glass | 750mL Capacity | Clear Crystal | Art. No. 1950/19 | Gift Box Included

Process & Profile

Riedel Mamba Decanter is a dramatic handmade crystal wine decanter inspired by the shape and movement of the Black Mamba snake. Released in 2011, this sculptural decanter is designed to turn wine service into a visual experience, with fluid curves, striking coils, and a double-decanting feature that helps aerate wine as it moves through the glass.

Made from clear crystal glass, the Mamba Decanter combines elegant presentation with functional wine service. Its shape is suitable for wines of all ages, giving younger wines room to open while allowing mature wines to be presented with care. The 750mL capacity is built to hold a standard bottle of wine, making it practical for dinners, tastings, celebrations, and premium bottle service.

Each Riedel handmade decanter is individually mouth-blown by skilled glassblowers in European workshops, which means small variations, tiny bubbles, or natural handmade details may be present. The result is a one-of-a-kind serving piece that works as both a functional wine decanter and a luxury display item for collectors, wine lovers, and gift buyers.
