Medium-height, slightly spreading, dense bush. Growing shoots are green, hairless, shiny, with anthocyanin pigmentation. Woody stems are thick, curved, beige-gray, hairy. Lateral buds are large, rose-purple, deviated from the shoot, egg-shaped, with a pointed apex, apical free. Leaf scar shape is round.
Leaf five-lobed, medium-sized, green, matte, wrinkled, with weak gloss, leaf blade convex, leathery, with widely spaced sharp lobes. Grooves between lobes are deep. Central lobe is longer than lateral ones, lateral lobes are pointed, their veins are arranged at a right or obtuse angle. Upper sides of lateral lobes lie on one straight line or at an acute angle to the central vein, while lower sides are strongly sloped toward the base. Basal lobes are well-defined, their veins are raised and directed toward the petiole. Leaf base has a central notch, closed in young leaves, open in the middle of the shoot. Teeth are small and sharp. Petiole is green, pigmented at the base, hairless.
Flowers are medium-sized, pale-colored, sepals medium-sized with pale reddish-purple pigmentation, hairless. Inflorescence is medium density and length (8-12 flowers), axis straight or slightly curved, hairless.
Berries are very large (2.2-5.0 g), round, black, medium-thick skin, dry detachment, sweet taste (4.9 points), versatile use. Peduncle is medium thickness, green, thin. Chemical composition: total sugars — 7.8%, titratable acidity — 2.2%, ascorbic acid — 180.0 mg/100 g.
Winter-hardy variety, resistant to powdery mildew, moderately resistant to anthracnose, bud mite, drought, and spring frosts, intensive type, requires careful care and fertile soil, average yield 10.0 t/ha (1.5 kg/plant), maximum — 18.7 t/ha (2.8 kg/plant).
Advantages of the variety: high yield, large berry size, high fruit quality, resistance to powdery mildew.
Disadvantages of the variety: in wet years, affected by anthracnose and powdery mildew.
