The variety was obtained by crossing Ben Alder and Ben Lomond. The plant forms an upright bush and is characterized by high yield.
The fruits are distinguished by a high dry matter content (Brix above 15) and an increased concentration of vitamin C compared to some varieties of the same breeding program. The variety is intended for commercial use in the processing and juice production industries, as well as for the fresh market.
