Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was obtained by crossing Eger 2 and Magaracsi Esemege. The vine is characterized by medium vigor, and the cane matures well. In autumn, the leaves acquire a wine-red hue.

Conical clusters have medium density and a mass of 350–550 g. Berries with a mass of 3–4 g have an oval or round shape, firm, crispy flesh, and a harmonious sweet taste.

The variety possesses increased resistance to downy mildew, powdery mildew, and Botrytis, as well as winter hardiness down to -24…-26°C. It is prone to berry shelling (millerandage) and does not tolerate overly short pruning. Its purpose is table use, with the possibility of preparing juices and wines.
