The variety was obtained as a result of a complex cross '(‘Silvergieters Schwarze’ × ‘Sunderbyn II’) × ‘Nikkala XI’' using local northern forms, Russian genetic material, and the North American variety ‘Consort’.
The plant forms a medium to vigorous bush with a dense structure and high regenerative capacity. Flowering and berry ripening occur early, beginning in April and mid-June, respectively.
The variety possesses high resistance to powdery mildew, good yield, and large berry size, making it recommended for both industrial use and private gardening.
