RED BLEND PORTUGAL BY CASA SANTOS LIMA WINE -14 750ML

Casa Santos Lima Red Blend — Portugal 750 mL

• Tasting / Profile
   • This is a value-driven Portuguese red blend from Lisboa, combining a mix of French and native grapes (such as Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Touriga Nacional/Franca, Castelão, depending on the vintage). 
   • On the nose and palate you’ll often find ripe red and dark fruits — cherries, plum, raspberry — with spice, subtle oak, and soft tannins. 
   • Body & structure: Medium-bodied, moderately acidic, and easy-drinking — typically dry but approachable.

• Menu Versatility
   • Excellent “value-import red” by the glass for everyday pours or house-red rotation — appeals to guests looking for approachable European reds without premium price.
   • Food pairing friendly: works well with pizza, burgers, pasta with tomato or meat sauce, grilled meats, and Mediterranean-style dishes. 
   • Good candidate for value-focused flights (“import value reds”) or volume wine lists featuring crowd-pleasers that move quickly.

• Operational Efficiency
   • Standard 750 mL bottle — fits your existing wine inventory, shelving, and glassware system.
   • Widely distributed, modest price profile, and approachable style — low risk of slow turnover.
   • Red blend format means less vintage sensitivity; consistent house pour across vintages simplifies inventory and pour cost.

• Profit Potential
   • As a value-priced import red, it allows solid margin when priced appropriately by the glass.
   • Use as a stabilizing “house red by the glass” to drive volume sales, especially among casual dining, high-traffic lunch/dinner, and price-sensitive guests.
   • Opportunity to upsell by offering as a “red-import upgrade” relative to basic table wine.
