Freisamer

An artificial cross of Sylvaner and Pinot Gris, Freisamer was created in 1916 at Freiburg (D), giving it the nickname of Freiburger used in Switzerland and elsewhere, while Freisamer is a contraction of Freiburg and Dreisam, the river that runs through the town. A relatively late-ripening variety that produces distinctly acidic wines, it is sporadically grown in Switzerland, including in the canton of Fribourg, which is certainly no accident.
