Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc

Albarino, rosé Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Cajun. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. One wine you could try is Granbazan Etiquetan Ambar Albarino. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 25 dollars.

Pale golden color, with shiny reflexes of lemon towards the edge. Great olfactory complexity, reflecting clearly the varietal characteristics with aromas of fresh seeded fruits, pineapple, green apple, lemon and banana. Mouthfilling with a crispy acidity. Elegant, balanced and pleasant aftertaste.
