The variety is a medium-tall compact bush up to 1.5 meters in height with erect and strong shoots. The berries are large, weighing up to 3.2 grams, black in color with shiny skin, collected in clusters. The taste of the fruit is sweet with slight acidity; the berries are suitable for fresh consumption and processing.
Official information regarding the registration of the variety with the prefix "WIL" is absent. This designation is most likely a trade label of a specific nursery, rather than part of the breeding name of the Ben Nevis variety.
