The variety belongs to the early maturity group. The fruits possess a characteristic intense yellow background color, which allows producers to accurately determine the harvest time.

A key feature of the fruits is the high sweetness index, with a sugar content reaching 17–18° Brix. The variety was developed to ensure high quality and uniformity of the yield.
