Malus domestica 'Medaille D'Or'
A robust and fine-flavored apple; this vintage French variety, originally introduced in 1865, is not called "Gold Medal" for nothing! The squat, gold apple shows a rose kiss when fully ripe, and also a fine net of russeting. The award-winning, "bittersweet" fruit produces a sweet, astringent juice high in tannins and converts into a cider with high alcohol content and a strong, fruity flavor. Per WSU: tannin (percent tannic acid): 0.82; Acid (percent malic acid): 0.32; pH: 4.09; SG: 1.059; oBrix 14.9
