Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz

Chili works really well with Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. The Casteller Cava Rosado with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.

Casteller Cava Rosado

Casteller Cava Rosé is a delicious sparkling wine made in the traditional method, with a second fermentation in the bottle. Aged for 12 months on the lees before release, it consistently delivers premium flavors.This vivacious, tangy Cava will pair well with most any tapas, in addition to fresh fruit, berry tarts and soft, creamy cheeses. It has more than enough style and substance to be an excellent aperitif all on its own.
