The variety is a bud mutation of the Gala variety. The fruit is medium to large in size, with a diameter of about 7.7 cm, and a conical shape. A distinctive feature is a pronounced solid purple-red color without stripes or with faintly expressed ones, covering the entire surface of the fruit. The flesh is juicy, crunchy, and sweet, with a sugar content of 14–15 °Brix.
The tree is characterized by low vigor, a tendency to branch, and a spreading or drooping growth habit. The variety matures at the same time as other Gala types, but the fruit acquires an intense color earlier than the harvest date. Disease resistance, including resistance to scab, corresponds to the original Gala variety. Uniform coloration allows for harvesting in a single pass.
