SC - What kind of wine goes *on* tuna?

Having translated the tuna recipes, I decided that the marinated grilled
tuna looked worth trying -- easy, and well-suited to my health
restrictions. It's simple enough, except that I am utterly ignorant about
wines. The ingredients of the marinade are: white wine, boiled wine,
vinegar, garlic, pepper, salt.
Since the recipe is Spanish, it seems appropriate to use Spanish
wines. I was thinking of using a red wine for the "boiled wine" (which I
would then reduce by half), for no reason that I can justify, except that I
tend to assume red wine is the default. Perhaps the boiled wine ought
to be a bit sweet, to give the marinade some balance.
Can anyone suggest what kinds of wines would be appropriate for this
purpose? I have no clue even where to start. I barely know a sherry
from a chardonnay. I don't want anything very expensive, or obscure. I
have access to a medium-sized suburban liquor store, whose Spanish
wine section comprises about 2 dozen different varieties.
