Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc

Cajun works really well with Albarino, rosé Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. The Torres Pazo das Bruxas Albarino with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

Torres Pazo das Bruxas Albarino

Brilliant yellow with a greenish edge. Intensely aromatic with white floral, citrus and white peach notes. Accessible, sweet and hedonistic upon entry. Notable for its clean acidity, which carries through on the midpalate. Long and persistent on the finish.An excellent aperitif. Good with raw, cooked or grilled seafood. Pairs perfectly with mild, white fish. Its lively palate strikes a perfect balance with soft goat cheeses.
