summer that delivers more than 1000 hours of potent sunshine giving
every Breeze apple a heavenly scent and super-crisp, satisfying
flesh that’s bursting with juice – a gift from nature.

SONYA™

When you bite into a Sonya apple be prepared for an explosion of sweet juicy flavour.

Sonya is a relatively new apple, developed in the south island of New Zealand. It is a cross between a Red Delicious and Gala.

Sonya has two distinctive features. Firstly, its unusual shape - it is a very tall apple stemming from its parent Red Delicious. Sonya's other distinctive feature is its exceptional sweetness (even sweeter than Gala) - the flavour is strongly reminiscent of raw sugar cane blended with fruity flavour, and there is no trace of acidity whatsoever. Another great feature is it has exceptional storage and keeping qualities.

Sonya. A heavenly spectrum of sweetness, crispness and fragrance
