Obaya Tinto (aleavini)

The "Rule-Breaker" Red That’s Always Invited Back🇪🇸 The VibeJust like its white sibling, the Obaya Tinto is a collaboration by the De Andrés Sisters. But here’s the juicy part: they purposefully stepped outside the strict Spanish D.O. (Appellation) laws to make this. Why? Because they wanted to blend different vintages—mixing older, "polished" wine with fresh, "vibrant" new juice. It’s a rebel with a cause, and that cause is being the smoothest red on your table.

The NoseThis is a fruit festival in a glass. Expect an explosion of bright red berries—strawberries, cherries, and raspberries. Because it was aged in large, older barrels (rather than small, oaky ones), you get just a tiny, sophisticated whisper of toast and leather without feeling like you're licking a tree.

The TasteIt’s the ultimate "Goldilocks" red: not too heavy, not too light. It’s velvety and fresh with tannins so soft they’re practically wearing pajamas. You’ll taste juicy plum and blackcurrant, finished with a hint of spice. It’s "rested" (as the sisters say), meaning it feels relaxed and ready to party the moment you twist the cap.
