Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is intended exclusively for industrial processing. The fruits possess high quality, excellent color, and a specific biochemical profile with a high concentration of anthocyanins, sucrose, and quinic acid.

The plant possesses resistance to a wide range of climatic conditions, ensuring predictable bud break after winter. Breeding of the variety was aimed at improving agronomic qualities, general hardiness, and resistance to diseases and pests, including the blackcurrant gall mite.
