Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the early-ripening group: fruits mature in September to early October. The tree is characterized by vigorous growth and is self-sterile, requiring a pollinator.

The fruits are medium to large in size and have a conical, slightly flattened shape. The skin is waxy, yellow in color with orange-red stripes and characteristic russeted lenticels. The flesh is crisp, cream or white in color.

The variety is used exclusively for cider production, often as part of blends, as it provides a soft, balanced juice. It is not suitable for fresh consumption. The plant possesses good general disease resistance.
