Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a dwarf or hedgerow-type variety, which results in a lower bine height compared to traditional types. It is characterized by a high cone-to-leaf ratio at harvest. The ripening period is defined as medium-early or late, with a yield of 1500–1750 kg/ha. The plant shows tolerance to downy mildew and powdery mildew.

The aromatic profile includes notes of pear, peach, red currant, cherry, as well as floral, herbaceous, and minty shades with possible tones of green tea and vanilla. The chemical composition contains 4.5–6.5% alpha acids, 2.1–3.1% beta acids, and 0.6–1.0 ml/100 g of essential oils. The cohumulone content varies within the range of 26–30% of alpha acid content.
