The bunches, sometimes winged, are of medium size. They can weigh up to 347 gr. The berries, a little ellipsoid, are rather of a medium size. The flesh is juicy and covered with a rather thick skin, which takes on an amber-pink colour when they are ripe. A wine of medium acidity and high quality comes from this variety. When young, the wine gives off an aroma of ripe apples and when aged, it gives off a scent of honey and cooked fruits.
