Variety description

10 August 2026

Fruits are small in size, weighing about 40 grams, with an oblate shape. The skin color is golden-yellow with a carmine blush and brown dots. The fragrant flesh produces juice rich in pigments, which is used to give cider a specific hue and tannin content.

The tree is noted for high growth vigor, forming a semi-upright, eventually drooping, cone-shaped crown. The variety is self-incompatible and requires cross-pollination. Harvesting takes place in October; the fruits store for no more than 1–2 months due to a tendency for the flesh to become mealy.

The variety is considered mid-late or mid-early and shows high yield. The plant may be susceptible to scab and powdery mildew, which requires control during cultivation.
