Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms an upright compact rosette with short petioles. The leaves are large, fleshy, round-oval in shape, with a semi-savoy surface and dark green color. High leaf density ensures stability during transport and processing, and plant uniformity simplifies harvesting.

The variety possesses high resistance to downy mildew (races 1–18 and 20) and Stemphylium leaf spot. The produce is intended for sale on the fresh market and for industrial processing.
