The variety is an improved clone of the Roussillon red apricot group. Trees are characterized by medium to high vigor, semi-erect crown, and medium-late flowering.

Fruits are medium-sized, with a diameter of 35–55 mm, and have an oval or slightly elongated shape. Skin color is orange with bright red dots. The flesh is firm, juicy, and sweet with a hint of acidity. The variety shows sensitivity to fungal diseases, in particular, rust.
