Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is classified as winter, with fruit harvesting taking place in late September — early October. Trees are semi-compact, suitable for cultivation on dwarf rootstocks. Fruits have an oblong symmetrical shape and are fully covered with a shiny dark red blush, which appears earlier than in the original variety.

The fruit flesh is juicy, firm, with a sweet-sour taste. The variety is suitable for long-term storage: in refrigerated chambers, the fruits are preserved until February, and in controlled atmosphere conditions — until June. It requires cross-pollination with varieties such as Golden Delicious, Gala, or Idared.
