Freer
Freisamer is a white wine variety . It is a new breed from Silvaner and Pinot Gris. In the meantime, the information provided by the breeder has been confirmed by DNA analysis. Freisamer was bred in 1916 by Karl Müller at the State Viticulture Institute in Freiburg im Breisgau , which is why the variety was also called Freiburg until 1958. The aim of the breeding was to improve the Pinot Gris, which at the time was very variable in yield. The entry in the list of varieties took place in 1956.
Today, the Pinot Gris, to which it is more similar in taste than the Silvaner, has largely prevailed against the Freisamer, which is why cultivation continues to decline. This tendency was made possible by a clone selection of stable yielding Graubugund variants.

distribution
Smaller areas are z. B. in Baden , Württemberg , in the Palatinate , on the Nahe and in various Swiss cantons. After 12 hectares of planted vineyards were surveyed in Germany in 2001 , the area in 2007 was only 4 hectares.
