Pinova Apple

Pinova (also called Sonata and Corail) is a new apple variety but the flavor is definitely old-fashioned. Bred in Dresden, Germany, the variety was introduced in 1986 and has since become very popular in Europe. Its family tree includes ‘Duchess of Oldenburg’, ‘Cox Orange Pippin’ and ‘Golden Delicious’ varieties. It ripens in mid to late October. The fruit is exceptionally crisp and juicy, with a firm, dense flesh. It has a mild, well-balanced sweet-tart flavor, which actually improves in storage. The apples have a distinctive dark red blush over a yellow background color with prominent lenticels. The Pinova stores exceptionally well, retaining its distinctive crisp and crunchy texture for many months. This apple is good for eating and cooking with and has a good balance of sugar/acid.
