Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was bred by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station in the USA by crossing the hybrids Alden and New York 46000. The ripening period is 110–120 days. Bushes have above-average vigor, and shoots mature well. The variety is prone to overcropping, so cluster thinning is required.

Clusters are conical or cylindrical-conical in shape, of medium density, and weigh from 200 to 600 g. Dark blue round berries weighing 2–3 g have a juicy flesh and firm edible skin. The taste is harmonious, with hints of strawberry, blueberry, blackcurrant, or muscat.

The variety belongs to seedlessness class I. It possesses high resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew, although it may be susceptible to grey mold under high humidity. Winter hardiness is high; it withstands frosts down to -25...-27°C, which allows the grapes to be grown as a non-covering crop.
