Freisprung means "free jump" and Mathias and Michael describe it as "the freedom to take a leap into the unknown". 
2023 was a rainy and very warm year. Temperatures were above average throughout the year, although there were no extreme heat peaks. We only reached just under 34 degrees. It rained a lot, especially in spring, August and late fall and winter, filling up Lake Neusiedl again. Despite high temperatures and a lot of rainfall, the harvest was a little later in mid to late September. After the harvest, it continued to be warm and rainy.
The grapes have been directly pressed and the Grüner Veltliner fermented in barrels to age on the lees for one year. Furmint was fermented and aged in inox. 323 bottles produced.
