Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety has vines with high or medium vigor and a semi-upright growth habit. Clusters are medium-sized, cylindro-conical, and moderately dense. Berries are medium-sized, round or slightly oval in shape, dark blue in color with juicy pulp and a pinkish hue to the juice.

The variety possesses good resistance to downy mildew and satisfactory resistance to powdery mildew; however, it is susceptible to gray mold and anthracnose, requiring protection in unfavorable years.
