Variety description

10 August 2026

Plants are characterized by high vigor. Leaves are large, five-lobed, almost entire, with dense pubescence on the underside. Clusters are medium-sized, conical, often winged, ranging from medium-density to dense. Berries are medium-sized, slightly oval, dark blue in color with abundant waxy bloom and thick skin.

The variety is productive, belonging to the late or very late ripening groups. It is relatively resistant to drought and grey mold, but susceptible to frost, downy mildew, and powdery mildew. It shows the best results in regions with high cumulative active temperatures, early spring, and a long warm autumn, preferring sandy-loam, skeletal, and calcareous soils.
