Ampelographic varietal characteristics
In the ampelography the habitus is described as follows: The shoot begins in May, is dark green. The leaves become medium-sized and are five-lobed. The white flowering begins in June. The flowers smell faint. It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided. It forms the first ripe fruits in September and October in medium-sized clusters. The medium-sized, broadly elliptical berries are pink and have a sweet and sour taste. The berries are seedless.
