10 August 2026
The variety forms compact bushes with erect shoots, the height of which is usually 90–120 cm. Berries are large, black with shiny skin, ripening in the mid-late period. Fruits have a dessert wine-sweet taste and pronounced aroma, and possess dry separation.
The plant has high self-fertility and yield, due to which branches can bend under the weight of the fruits. The variety is characterized by resistance to powdery mildew, anthracnose and spring frosts, however it is sensitive to aphid infestation. Due to the tendency of the berries to soften quickly, timely harvesting is required.
