Winesap is one of the oldest and most popular apples in America, widely known from Virginia westward to the Pacific Coast. The fruit is well-colored with good dark red appearance, uniform in shape and size, and of very good quality when well grown. The flesh is firm, crisp, and juicy with a sprightly subacid flavor, and the apple stores well from January to June, though it tends to be small in New York's climate.
