The variety forms an upright bush of medium density, the shoots of which may bend under the weight of the crop. Young plants are characterized by weak initial growth and require increased attention to nitrogen nutrition during the establishment period.
The berries are round in shape, weighing up to 1.2 g, and have a firm skin that prevents cracking and facilitates transportation. The fruits ripen in early July, have a sweet taste, and do not shatter from the bush for two weeks after ripening.
The plant possesses genetic resistance to the blackcurrant gall mite and blackcurrant reversion virus, high resistance to powdery mildew and viruses, as well as medium resistance to anthracnose. The variety is intended for processing and is suitable for mechanical harvesting.
