The variety forms vigorous bushes with yellow-brown annual shoots. The berries are large, gathered in long racemes, and are suitable for fresh consumption and industrial processing. A characteristic feature is the ability of the fruit to hold on the bush for a long time after reaching maturity.
The variety has early flowering and ripening periods. It is characterized by high susceptibility to powdery mildew and moderate susceptibility to anthracnose, and requires the installation of supports to sustain the branches due to their weight. Due to its wide distribution in European collections, the variety is often used in comparative analyses of the chemical composition of berries.
