Sonya Apples | Local Apple Variety From New Zealand | TasteAtlas

Sonya apples

Sonya is an apple variety originating from New Zealand as a cross between Gala and Red Delicious. The apples are very tall and exceptionally sweet. They were released to the market in 2002. The skin is bi-colored with a light or dark red over a creamy yellow background.


The texture is very crisp, refreshing, and juicy, while the flavor is reminiscnet of raw sugar cane without any acidity. It's recommended to eat Sonya apples fresh and straight out of the refrigerator. Serve them with cheeses such as Camembert or Manchego.
