Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was obtained by crossing Ceaus roz and Julski biser varieties. The plant is characterized by vigorous growth; shoots can reach 5 meters in height, which requires the use of supports, trellises, or pergolas. The variety matures mid-early, typically in the second half of August.

Bunches are of medium or large size, conical in shape, and of medium density. Berries are large, oval-shaped, and golden-yellow or amber in color. The skin is thin but firm. The pulp is fleshy and juicy, with a neutral flavor or a slight muscat undertone.

The variety is intended for fresh consumption and juice production. It possesses frost resistance. Sensitivity to downy mildew is noted, which requires the implementation of preventive protective measures.
