The variety forms a vertically growing bush with a tendency toward a wide, spreading habit. The plant height reaches 120–150 cm. The ripening period belongs to the mid-late category; harvesting begins from the beginning of July.
The berries are large, shiny, and juicy, possessing a pleasant sweet-and-sour taste and a pronounced aroma. Studies show high antioxidant activity of the berries due to a significant content of polyphenolic compounds. The variety is intended for both amateur gardening and industrial processing.
