Due to its size, our Brilliant decanter is perfect for young (up to approx. 10 years old), complex, full-bodied red wines or premium, young white and rosé wines that become more harmonious as they breathe. (The producer or merchant you trust will be happy to help you with a recommendation). Mature red wines that have already formed a sediment due to storage should be decanted carefully and, if necessary, with the help of a light source.

Our JOSEPHINE No 3 glass is a proven Grand Seigneur. It has a large surface area, so that full-bodied and complex red wines have enough contact with oxygen. Kurt Josef Zalto has succeeded in squaring the circle with this glass – a combination of a Bordeaux and Burgundy glass. Full-bodied, concentrated and seductive Pinots, Bordeaux blends, Baroli, Syrah and the like can unfold in the JOSEPHINE No 3 in an expansive manner. Moreover, this masterpiece offers the perfect stage for full-bodied and extracted white wines, such as barrique-aged Chardonnays, as well as icon wines such as those from Napa Valley, Oregon, South America, South Africa and Australia.

Designed by Kurt Josef Zalto, handblown and handmade in Europe – every single piece is unique.

Our JOSEPHINE Red Wine Set consists of:

• JOSEPHINE Decanter – Brilliant: Height 19cm, diameter 23cm, volume 2300ml.

For the ideal cleaning of your JOSEPHINE decanter, we recommend that you thoroughly rinse the decanter directly after each use, first with hot and then with cold water, and let it drain upside down on a stand. If small residues remain in the decanter, they can be removed with a long, flexible sponge brush and hot water. If the brush reaches all areas, the use of dishwashing detergents can be avoided. In principle, washing in the dishwasher is also possible, provided that the decanter stands securely, and a glass-only program is used. A soft linen cloth is best for polishing your decanter.

A soft linen cloth and a watercolour brush are the best things for taking care of your JOSEPHINE No 3. The Josephinenhütte glasses are dishwasher suitable, but hand washing is recommended.
