The variety was obtained by crossing the varieties «Паулинка» and «Белорусская сладкая». The plant is vigorous, reaches a height of about 2 meters, and has a dense, slightly spreading bush with medium branching.
The berries are black, round, and shiny, with an average weight of 1.2–1.4 g. The pulp is juicy, the taste is sweet, and the skin is of medium density. The variety has high self-fertility, the berries do not shatter, and they transport well.
The variety has high winter hardiness and is relatively resistant to American powdery mildew, anthracnose, and bud mite. The yield is about 12 t/ha, which allows the variety to be used for commercial cultivation.
