Variety description

10 August 2026

The bush is medium-sized, 1.5–2 meters high, with a semi-spreading crown and thick, elastic shoots. The berries are large, weighing from 1.8 to 3.6 g, round-oval in shape, and black with a glossy finish. The firm and juicy flesh has a sweet-and-sour dessert taste.

The variety possesses complex resistance to fungal diseases, the blackcurrant bud mite, and the leaf gall midge. It is characterized by winter hardiness and high drought tolerance. The berries do not shatter upon ripening and tolerate transportation well.

The variety is for universal use; it is suitable for fresh consumption and all types of industrial processing. Its adaptability to uniform berry ripening makes the plant suitable for commercial cultivation and mechanized harvesting.
