The variety was bred by crossing the hybrid form (Yunost × Zoya) with the variety «Минай Шмырев». The bush is medium-sized, slightly spreading, with elastic shoots and shortened internodes. The variety shows resistance to powdery mildew and rust.
Berries are round-oval, black, shiny, weighing from 1.7 to 3.5 g, with thin but firm skin and dry separation. The variety is self-fertile, characterized by stable yield and uniform ripening at the beginning of the second ten-day period of July. Suitable for intensive cultivation technologies.
