The Karmijn de Sonnaville apple is described by Morgan and Richards in their “Book of Apples” as intensely flavoured, rich, aromatic, and with masses of sugars and acidity; very good. Karmine apple juice is made from a blend of 67% Karmijn de Sonnaville and 33% Bramley’s Seedling apples. The Karmijn variety is especially well suited to juice making due to its high natural sugar content (about 15%) and good aroma.
