Variety description

10 August 2026

The maturity period of the hybrid is 80–85 days. The plant is characterized by long vines and large leaves that protect the fruits from sunburn. The fruits have a firm rind of medium thickness and are notable for high uniformity in shape and weight.

The flesh is bright red or pink, crisp, with a sugar content of 11–12% on the Brix scale. The hybrid demonstrates resistance to anthracnose (Co) and temperature fluctuations. The fruits retain their marketability during storage for up to two months after harvest and are suitable for long-distance transportation.
