The variety forms medium-sized, compact bushes about 1.5 m tall with straight, strong branches. The ripening period is early, occurring from late June to early July. The crop is characterized by high field resistance to fungal diseases, including leaf spot, as well as high winter hardiness down to -30°C and sufficient drought tolerance.
The berries have a weight from 1–2 g to 3–4 g, with dense, shiny skin and dry detachment, which makes the variety suitable for mechanical harvesting and transportation. The taste of the berries is sweet, "wine-like," with a pronounced aroma and high vitamin C content. The variety is for universal use, suitable for both industrial horticulture and private cultivation.
