According to Juan, the variety showed exceptional yield this year, with well-formed bunches and high fertility. “We expect a very productive harvest with firm grapes, excellent color and size.”
He highlighted the adaptability of the variety to the tropical climate and its ease of management, projecting continued success in the coming years.

With an estimate of 3,500 boxes of 8.2 kg per hectare for this season, its main market remains Ecuador, serving the country’s main retailers. However, future harvests from October onwards are destined for international export, extending their reach beyond national borders.
