About this variety

It is regarded as one of the most vitamin-rich apples ever and is appreciated by connoisseurs for its intense, refined-spicy aroma. It needs a protected, nutrient-rich site and tends to powdery mildew, but develops its full bouquet in storage.
you will find it juicy and full-bodied with a strong, refined sweet-acid balance and a spicy, almost renette-like aroma. Only after several weeks of storage does it play out its full depth.
