Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is early-summer, with fruits ripening in late July or the first half of August. The tree reaches a height of 4–5 meters and has a spreading, often drooping crown with thin shoots. Fruits weighing 75–100 grams have a regular pear-shaped or club-shaped form.

The flesh of the fruits is white or yellowish-white, very tender, juicy, and buttery, with a muscat aroma and wine notes. The fruits have low keeping quality, amounting to 3–5 days, and are intended primarily for fresh consumption. The variety is sufficiently winter-hardy and relatively resistant to scab; the fruits hold firmly on the branches until the moment of ripening.
