Vinta Inks Manila Pen Show 2025 Collection Scented Bottled Ink in Red Sangria [Bahalina 1521] - 30mL

Vinta Inks, crafted in the Philippines, celebrate the nation's rich cultural heritage and traditions through beautifully themed and carefully blended inks. Each color is inspired by meaningful Filipino history, flavors, or landscapes, and formulated with premium ingredients to ensure a smooth and memorable writing experience.

Red Sangria [Bahalina 1521] draws inspiration from the traditional Visayan palm wine known as bahalina—a deep red, fermented coconut toddy aged over time. This ink pays tribute to the Philippines’ centuries-old winemaking culture and the year 1521, marking the earliest recorded arrival of Spanish influence in the islands. Like a fine vintage, this ink evokes the warmth and richness of aged coconut wine, reimagined as a vivid writing experience.

This ink features a bold wine-red base with a saturated flow and low shading, offering consistent color with every stroke. It is subtly apple-scented, enhancing the sensory experience of writing without overpowering. The fragrance adds an aromatic layer of depth, making this ink a unique blend of tradition and creativity.

As a dye-based ink with no shimmer or sheen, Red Sangria performs reliably in a wide range of fountain pens and is ideal for everyday writing. Gentle shaking is recommended to maintain even pigment distribution, though it’s safe and easy to use even in finer nibs.
