Verdict
Navarro's salmiana ensambles for Luneta are the clearest argument for San Luis Potosí as a state with its own agave-spirit vocabulary. The verde-blanco blend at 48% reads with the structural integrity and regional clarity that makes SLP distinctive from Oaxaca – cooler, vegetal-forward, peppery in a way Oaxacan espadín never is. Commit alongside the cuerno-chino for a state study.
SLP salmiana as an internal conversation
Tasting notes
Nose: Bell pepper, warm corn, dry mineral, a flint lift
Palate: At 48% the verde and blanco salmiana sub-varietals work in dialogue – the verde adds vegetal lift, the blanco carries a rounder river rock base, and Navarro's SLP signature is unmistakable. Clean, confident
Finish: Peppery, clean – long
The bottom line
Buy with the other Navarro Luneta bottles
