Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to late-maturing types. Tubers have an round-oval shape, purple slightly reticulated skin and flesh of the same color, which retains its shade after heat treatment. Eyes are of medium depth.

The potato belongs to the mealy culinary type with high starch content and a light nutty flavor. The variety has a long dormancy period, which ensures good keeping quality during storage until May-June.

The plant is resistant to potato cyst nematode (Ro1) and virus Y, and possesses moderate resistance to potato leafroll virus. Susceptibility to potato wart is noted, as well as low or medium susceptibility to late blight and common scab.
