The variety is an early-ripening alternative to the Shiroka Melnishka Loza variety. The bushes are vigorous, ripening between September 20–25. Bunches are medium-sized (190–200 g), cylindrical or cylindrical-conical, dense or medium-dense. Berries are small, oval, dark blue with a thick waxy bloom.

The variety possesses high yield up to 150–170 c/ha. Sugar content of berries upon reaching technological maturity is 21–23%, acidity — 6–7 g/l. The leaf is medium, three-lobed, slightly dissected.

The plant demonstrates relative resistance to low winter temperatures and grey mold. Resistance to other diseases is at the level of typical Vitis vinifera varieties.
