Santana is a high quality attractive modern red apple, similar to Elstar, to which it is distantly related. It has a good balanced flavor, with a slightly vinous note. Like many modern apple varieties it incorporates natural resistance to scab.

Santana was developed specifically to have very low levels of the natural compounds that can cause oral allergic reactions to apples in some people.
