“Star” - the art of decantation
Uniqueness in practice “Many decanters provide a fast but completely unbalanced develop- ment of wines because the wines develop only by a macro-oxidation at the surface. It´s more balanced and harmonic to implement the necessary oxygen in a very soft and gentle way. The filigree rays of the centric star animate the served wine to a very soft enhance- ment. During the slewing the oxygen is mildly folded in and integrat- ed into the wine. Thus the wine starts to develop on its own terms and not – as with other decanters – just at the surface. The swirling of the wine is a fascinating view and helps in a three-di- mensional development to harmonize the acid and to synchronize dif- ferent levels of aroma. By using borosilicate glass as raw material for this decanter, which sticks out by its extremely smooth surface, another highly pleasant effect is, that the aromatic molecules aren´t expelled from the wine but allowed to present themselves completely in the wine glass. The aerated wine becomes extremely balanced, carefully crafted and centered. An additional valuewhich is simply priceless!” Silvio Nitzsche, WEIN | KULTUR | BAR Dresden
The decanter „Star“ synergizes the aesthetics of a unique copy with the functionality of a professional tool for vinophile pleasure. Based on products by glassblower Detlef Grein- er-Perth and presented by Silvio Nitzsche, “Star” is possibly the most fascinating wine carafe in a long time due to its exceptional design. A masterpiece of craftsmanship is the star positioned inside the decanter. Besides the positive influence this object has on the development of the wine, it at- tracts in an almost magical way the glances of the be- holder. Thus “Star” moves into the center of attention and awards the enjoyment of wine at home but also the service in a restaurant a perceived value. The individual star raises each carafe to a unique piece and thus creates a fascinating basis for conversation with interested guests. This artfully created centerpiece becomes a unique element in an excessively complex multi-stage pro- cess. This is pure luxury in our uniform world be- cause not a single star is of the same kind. Due to its reduced size the small decanter is par- ticularly suitable for the decantation of open wines or small bottles. The ideal charge

Care instructions: Looking at “Star” almost everybody, who already gained experience with decanters, will intuitively ask how to clean it. Many decanters have the nature, in particular when used for red wines, to absorb the colour pigments and to show light grey or brown surface layers after a certain usage. Most of these carafes have microscopically seen a rough surface which leftovers of the wine might adhere to and cause an unattrac- tive appearance of the decanters. With our decanter, made of borosilicate glass, this effect might appear after a much longer period due to the extremely smooth and re- pellent surface of this high-quality laboratory glass. In case it actually happens these traces can easily be removed by using a mixture of citric acid and water. After a 2 hour residence time the problem should be solved.
