Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a complex hybrid with Chaush, Cardinal, Italia, and Rusalka in its pedigree. The growing season is 110–130 days. The vines are characterized by vigorous growth. The clusters have a conical shape, and their weight varies from 550 to 900 g. The berries, weighing 6–8 g, can have a golden or pinkish hue; seedlessness corresponds to class 2–3 with the presence of soft rudiments.

Sugar accumulation of the fruit reaches 16–22 Brix. The variety has low resistance to downy mildew, increased resistance to powdery mildew, and relative resistance to gray mold, which requires regular preventive treatments. Winter hardiness ranges from -15 to -20°C; in most regions, the plant requires covering for the winter.
