Tasting Notes

 

• Appearance: Crystal clear with a pale, straw-yellow hue and delicate golden reflections.
• Nose: An elegant and expressive aromatic profile. It opens with notes of green apple, pear, and lychee, complemented by hints of white flowers, fresh herbs, and tropical guava.
• Palate: A soft and refreshing entry that evolves into a light-to-medium body. The flavors on the palate mirror the nose, with crisp fruit, a touch of sweetness, and a distinct umami character. The acidity is low and perfectly integrated.
• Finish: The finish is long, clean, and persistent, leaving pleasant herbaceous and anise-like notes.

 

Food Pairing

 

Nami’s clean and fruity profile makes it exceptionally food-friendly. It is ideal for cutting through richness and complementing fresh flavors. Serve chilled.

• Mexican Cuisine: A perfect match for fresh ceviche, aguachile, fish tacos, and fresh oysters.
• Japanese Cuisine: Pairs beautifully with sushi, sashimi, and light salads.
• General: Can be enjoyed on its own as a refreshing aperitif or used as a high-quality base for cocktails.
